The first thing Kyle Kuzma did on Saturday morning was hit his favorite breakfast spot, Park Cafe. The Los Angeles Lakers rookie forward took a photo of his plate and threw it on social media.

Coming back to Salt Lake City is special for the former University of Utah star, who was taken by the Lakers in the first round of last summer’s NBA draft. On Saturday night, he came back as a pro for the first time in his career.

Kuzma was greeted with a round of applause when he checked into the game against the Utah Jazz in the first quarter.
