The LA Clippers’ cross-hall rivals might be off to a slow start to begin the season. Kyle Kuzma, their fourth-best player, is suffering through an injury dating back to Team USA Training Camp.
The Los Angeles Lakers’ stretch-four could miss the beginning of the season “with a stress reaction in his left foot“, per Tania Ganguli of the LA Times.
Behind LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and arguably Danny Green, Kuzma is the best player on the Lakers’ roster. It is unknown, however, how much his possible absence will affect the team’s record.
