Washington Wizards star Kyle Kuzma plans to go through the whole free agency process this 2023 offseason; however, while he will be listening to all kinds of pitches, he emphasized that money is not really his priority when deciding which team he’ll join. The veteran forward made that abundantly clear in a recent interview with […]

If you forgot to pay attention to the Washington Wizards this season, you didn’t miss much. Once again, the Wizards had a very Wizards-y year, selling out for a doomed play-in berth and refusing to tank even as two of their best players head into NBA free agency this summer. Sitting at 34-46 and in […]

LSU basketball defeated Iowa basketball in the National Championship for women’s college basketball, and Kyle Kuzma of the Washington Wizards had a take on Angel Reese. “Angel Reese a winner,” Kyle Kuzma said on Twitter.

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 Washington Wizards aren’t doing themselves any favors.

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.

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.

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.

Kyle Kuzma finished Saturday’s contest, a 132-118 loss to the Sacramento Kings, with a game-high 33 points.

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.

Washington Wizards star forward Kyle Kuzma missed Sunday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a knee injury.

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.

The trading extravaganza leading up to 2023 NBA trade deadline saw many familiar faces return to familiar places.

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.

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.

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 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.

It has been an interesting past week or so for the Washington Wizards.

[…]

As expected, the announcement of the NBA All-Star Game starters has caused quite a stir among basketball fans everywhere.

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.

With Murray and Trae Young teaming up, Atlanta […]
