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 Detroit Pistons, every Wizards fan under the sun will surely be dying to know: Is Kyle Kuzma playing tonight vs. the Pistons?
Kyle Kuzma injury status vs. Pistons
The Wizards initially had Kuzma listed as questionable for Tuesday's showdown, per a tweet from Underdog Fantasy's NBA account. The good news for Wizards fans is that the 27-year-old was upgraded to available just before tipoff.
In other injury news relevant to the Wizards, guard Monte Morris (low back soreness) has been ruled out against the Pistons.
Kuzma, 27, is in his sixth year in the NBA and second as a member of the Wizards franchise. He's averaging 21.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game across 58 appearances this season (all starts).
The former University of Utah star is enjoying a career year passing the ball in the 2022-23 campaign — his current 3.8 assists average is a personal best, and it ranks seventh in the NBA among all qualified small forwards.
Expect the Wizards to win easily on the road against the Pistons, especially with Kuzma in the lineup. After all, the Pistons have struggled to win games at home all season, as their 7-26 home record is the second-worst in all of basketball. But with regard to the question, is Kyle Kuzma playing tonight vs. the Pistons, the answer is yes.
