Kyle Kuzma says he wants to be ‘patient’ while dealing with injury, Frank Vogel thinks he can make big impact on Lakers when healthy

Kyle Kuzma is set to miss his fourth game in a row tonight with the left ankle sprain that has been troubling him even before he started missing time, and it’s far from the only malady that’s disrupted his third season with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Kuzma missed all of training camp and much of the start of the season with a stress reaction in his foot, and then dealt with an eye contusion and illness in addition to this sprain, right as he’s trying to find his way on a new team while playing a new role he’s never filled in the NBA.
