Anthony Davis has missed the Los Angeles Lakers last two games with injury and head coach Frank Vogel put in Kyle Kuzma as his replacement in the starting lineup — something he has responded greatly to.
Amid trade rumors and an eventual move back to the bench, Kuzma put up two of his best performances of the 2019-20 NBA season.
After Kuzma’s struggles to stay consistent have been documented all season, his two games in the starting lineup showed who he really is, averaging 31.0 points and 6.5 rebounds while shooting 52.
