Kyle Kuzma Articles - Page 7

For much of the 2022-23 NBA season, the Washington Wizards have managed to remain in the thick of the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament race. But with just a few games left in the regular season, it looks like their hopes are fading, and the recent injury updates provided on Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma certainly […]

There are probably still more than a few Washington Wizards fans out there that have not thrown in the towel just yet. After all, the Wizards are currently just two games outside the Play-In picture in the East following their totally unexpected win over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night. The Wizards have another game […]

The Washington Wizards aren’t doing themselves any favors. After it was recently reported that there was mutual interest in forward Kyle Kuzma signing an extension in the form of a new deal — should he likely opt out of his $13 million player option next season — the Wizards are now reportedly planning on doing […]

The Washington Wizards have their sights set on keeping Kyle Kuzma. The 27-year-old forward does have a year left on his deal, but also has an opt-out clause that he’s all but surely going to execute to secure himself a bigger deal. Wizards GM Tommy Sheppard is reportedly angling to be the team that gives […]

The Washington Wizards still have seven games remaining in the regular season, including Tuesday’s showdown against the mighty Boston Celtics. However, at this point, it appears that Washington has given up on the season altogether. It’s going to be another shorthanded lineup for the Wizards on Tuesday with Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma, among others, […]

At 33-41, the Washington Wizards are currently 10th in the East. They are 2.5 games behind the Chicago Bulls for the 10th and final Play-In spot in the conference. However, it seems that the Wizards are already waving the white flag. This is after Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma‘s injury status for Sunday’s matchup against […]

After an encouraging start that saw players such as Kyle Kuzma and Monte Morris having strong starts for the club, the Washington Wizards are all but out of the playoff hunt this season. To make matters worse, Wizards star Bradley Beal remains out with left knee soreness, severely compromising Washington’s ability to make even the […]

The Washington Wizards are watching their playoff hopes disappear right before their eyes. This is after they suffered four straight losses and have fallen out of the Play-In picture out in the East. All hope is not lost, though, with Washington still just 2.5 games behind the Chicago Bulls for the 10th and final Play-In […]

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma has had a career season in D.C., averaging a career-high 21.2 points per game on a 54.4 true shooting percentage. Clearly developing as a scorer and playmaker since being traded to the Wizards in a five-team deal back in 2021, the Michigan native’s fit with Washington isn’t perfect but it […]

Kyle Kuzma finished Saturday’s contest, a 132-118 loss to the Sacramento Kings, with a game-high 33 points. It’s surprising the Washington Wizards forward even finished the game at all after watching the first minute of action. Kuzma banked in a leaning triple on the right wing on his very first attempt. His momentum carried him […]

The Washington Wizards entered their Tuesday night contest against the Detroit Pistons missing one of their most crucial pieces in Kyle Kuzma due to a knee injury. Kuzma’s absence did not end up mattering, however, as the Wizards took care of the lowly Pistons with ease following an efficient 36-point night from Bradley Beal. Nonetheless, […]

The Washington Wizards will be looking to end a three-game losing skid on Tuesday against the lowly Detroit Pistons, but they are going to be without a key contributor. Kyle Kuzma picked up a knee injury on Sunday versus the Philadelphia 76ers and was listed as questionable for this matchup until Tuesday morning. He’s now […]

The Washington Wizards have had a teeter-totter season, managing to recover enough from a crushing 10-game losing streak in December to put themselves in position to sneak into the play-in tournament. And on Wednesday night, it seemed like the Wizards were well on their way to another victory after three quarters, especially after Kristaps Porzingis […]

Ladies and gentlemen, Kyle Kuzma just did the internet a solid this Tuesday night. The Washinton Wizards forward gave everyone something to have a good chuckle at when he celebrated a shot he thought was going in — Nick Young style. With the Wizards up by eight points with over eight minutes remaining on the […]

Washington Wizards star forward Kyle Kuzma missed Sunday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a knee injury. Unsurprisingly, without arguably their second-best player, the Wizards lost to the Bucks by a final score of 117-111. So when the Wizards visit Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday night to play Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren, and the […]

The Washington Wizards haven’t had a great season, but with a 30-33 record, they are currently in possession of the tenth seed in the Eastern Conference, which would earn them a spot in the Play-In Tournament. However, they are going to have to keep on winning throughout the remainder of the season, and they have […]

The trading extravaganza leading up to 2023 NBA trade deadline saw many familiar faces return to familiar places. Included in that list is D’Angelo Russell, whom the Los Angeles Lakers acquired (along with Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt) in the long overdue Russell Westbrook trade. It seems like seeing players return to their first NBA […]

The Portland Trail Blazers made a few moves prior to the trade deadline with an eye towards the future, sending former starting small forward Josh Hart to the New York Knicks for Cam Reddish and a first-rounder and dealing away Gary Payton II for five second-round picks. But it appears the Blazers’ future is now, […]

Washington Wizards star forward Kyle Kuzma has missed three straight games due to an ankle injury. The Wizards have fared surprisingly well without arguably their second-best player — the team owns a 2-1 record since Kuzma’s been out, with wins over the Pacers and Hornets. Still, when the Wizards visit the Chase Center on Monday […]

The Washington Wizards are one of the more confusing teams in the NBA right now. Despite clearly having a team that is not a championship contender, the Wizards front office is building their team as if they will be in contention for a title. That mentality continued once again at the 2023 NBA trade deadline. […]

Russell Westbrook’s wife had time. Nina Westbrook blasted all the critics for branding the former Los Angeles Lakers point guard as a “locker room vampire” – a rant Kyle Kuzma agreed with. Kuzma called it “weirdo activity” for talking heads to hurl all that vitriol at a player for underperforming. Given the spotlight on the […]

In the madness that was the 2023 NBA trade deadline, the Washington Wizards made a minor move involving veteran Will Barton. But to Wizards’ forward Kyle Kuzma, Washington’s Barton decision wasn’t so trivial. The Wizards are working on a contract buyout for Barton, via ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Following that news, a fan on Twitter suggested […]

Kyle Kuzma knows a thing or two about fashion (or not?), and so when he saw LeBron James’ outfit for what could be a historic Los Angeles Lakers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder game, he knew his ex-teammate is making a statement. James is expected to break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring record on Tuesday against the […]

The Golden State Warriors haven’t had the 2022-23 season they were hoping for, as their 27-26 record sees them sitting in just eighth place in the Western Conference right now. Admittedly, they are only two-and-a-half games behind the third place Sacramento Kings, but things are going to be even harder for them now that Stephen […]

With the second half of the season fully underway and little room for error in the race for the postseason, the Washington Wizards, who at 24-28 are essentially tied with the Indiana Pacers at 25-29 for the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference standings and the final play-in spot, have a big game against the […]

Washington Wizards forward, and now fashion icon, Kyle Kuzma is turning heads again ahead of the team’s road meeting with the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. The focus will inevitably be on the drama surrounding Kyrie Irving, but Kuzma will surely command attention with his striking pregame attire. Kuzma, via his Instagram, continues to showcase his […]

Kyle Kuzma shared a hilarious response to LeBron James’ Kyrie Irving trade request reaction on Friday, via Kuzma’s Twitter account. “Tamper!!!” Kuzma wrote. LeBron initially posted a 2-emoji response which was seemingly in reference to Irving’s Brooklyn Nets trade request. 👀👑 — LeBron James (@KingJames) February 3, 2023 Irving has been linked to the Los […]

The Washington Wizards are looking for ways to improve in the Eastern Conference, which is always getting stronger. The Wizards currently hold a 24-26 win-loss record. That puts them in ninth place in the conference. Over the next several days, other clubs throughout the league anticipate the Wizards to be buying rather than selling at […]

It has been an interesting past week or so for the Washington Wizards. Despite being panned by fans and pundits alike for their confusing NBA trade deadline strategy, the Wizards have gone on to win six straight games – four since trading away the ninth overall pick of the 2019 NBA Draft in Rui Hachimura. […]

With the Washington Wizards looking to build for the future, one of the questions is whether or not forward Kyle Kuzma will be part of those plans. Kuzma has been the subject of trade rumors, with multiple contending teams reported to have interest in bringing the forward to their squad. On the Please Don’t Aggregate […]

The 2022-23 NBA season has officially reached its halfway mark, so fans already have a general idea of what their teams are competing for. Organizations such as the Washington Wizards should be active in the market for players who can help them make a final push to the playoffs. With the Feb. 9 trade deadline […]

The Miami Heat didn’t have the start to the season that they were hoping for, but they are finally beginning to turn things around as we enter the second half of the season. With a 27-22 record, the Heat are sitting in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, and they are beginning to creep up […]

As expected, the announcement of the NBA All-Star Game starters has caused quite a stir among basketball fans everywhere. The biggest name that has emerged from the rubble is none other than Philadelphia 76ers big Joel Embiid, who has surprisingly been omitted from the list of All-Star starters. Washington Wizards stud Kyle Kuzma was one […]

The Washington Wizards made a big move on Monday when they decided to pull the trigger on a trade deal that saw Rui Hachimura make his way to the Los Angeles Lakers. In exchange, the Wizards received Kendrick Nunn and two future second-round picks. This trade wasn’t just a straightforward swap of assets for the […]

The Atlanta Hawks haven’t seen the 2022-23 season go the way they were expecting it to go. After pulling off a huge move for Dejounte Murray last offseason, the Hawks were expected to be one of the top contenders in the Eastern Conference, and for good reason. With Murray and Trae Young teaming up, Atlanta […]

It’s no secret that Spencer Dinwiddie, after signing a three-year, $62 million deal with the Washington Wizards, did not enjoy his time in D.C. at the very least. And the feeling is mutual; it’s apparent that Dinwiddie’s former teammates in Washington don’t like him one bit either. This much was evident in Kyle Kuzma’s reaction […]

The Washington Wizards continue to confound. They seem rather content with remaining one of the most decidedly mediocre teams in the entire NBA. Their latest trade – sending away Rui Hachimura, a 24-year old combo forward, to the Los Angeles Lakers for Kendrick Nunn and three second-round picks – may not be such a bad […]

Kyle Kuzma’s future with the Washington Wizards has been a major talking point in the past few weeks and months, and the buzz around his situation only increased after the team traded Rui Hachimura to the Los Angeles Lakers. It is expected that Kuzma will decline his $13 million player option for next season and […]

The Washington Wizards got a head start on the NBA trade deadline madness soon to come by trading away Rui Hachimura amid rumors of his discontent. Amidst the Wizards apparent willingness to swing for trades, the spotlight now shines on what they’ll do with their other desirable forwards in Kyle Kuzma and Kristaps Porzingis. The […]
