Kyle Kuzma isn’t thinking about extension talks with the Lakers this summer: ‘I’m going to get paid regardless’

Before the league descended on Orlando to restart the NBA season, Kyle Kuzma was part of a group of third-year players — along with Bam Adebayo, De’Aaron Fox, Donovan Mitchell, and Jayson Tatum — who met with league leadership to secure some sort of insurance protection for their upcoming contract extensions.

It’s not clear if any agreement emerged from those talks, but Kuzma also doesn’t seem to be worried about his looming extension, which can be signed this offseason.

“I mean, I’m gonna get paid regardless so I don’t really care,” Kuzma told the media on Wednesday.
