Kyle Kuzma provided 23 points (8-16 FG, 3-8 3PT, 4-6 FT) eight rebounds, one assist and two turnovers across 37 minutes in Saturday's 124-115 win over the Rockets. He briefly exited the game in the third quarter to have his left ankle re-taped, but returned later on to start the fourth. (Kyle Goon on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact:
Kuzma tweaked his ankle in the third quarter, and headed to the locker room. He made his way back onto the Lakers bench, and eventually returned in the beginning of the fourth quarter. The ankle injury doesn't sound serious and he should be fine moving forward. With Anthony Davis out, Kuzma has become the secondary option on the Lakers offense after Lebron James. The 24-year old has scored double figures in four of his last five games. Kuzma will look to continue his strong play in Monday's tilt against the Celtics.
