Lakers Injury Updates: Kyle Kuzma ‘Ramping Things Up’ As Talen Horton-Tucker Nearing Return To Practice

The Los Angeles Lakers have gotten through two games to begin the 2019-20 NBA season, a loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Opening Night and a commanding win over the Utah Jazz in the home opener — without a major rotation player in Kyle Kuzma.

They’ve also been without the services of Talen Horton-Tucker, who figures to play some sort of role once healthy. Both players are dealing with stress reactions in their foot.

While both have missed substantial periods of time, it appears both are nearing a return to practice.
