According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers have had “exploratory talks” about third-year forward Kyle Kuzma.
Kuzma, 24, is a gifted scorer, but he hasn’t quite meshed with the new-look Lakers. He’s averaging career-lows in points (13.0), rebounds (4.2), assists (1.0), and field goal percentage (.432). It’s also worth noting that his minutes are down as well.
The Knicks and Lakers have already played each other twice this season, with Kuzma scoring 16 and 10 in those games, both Lakers wins.
