ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Sunday that Kuzma and the Los Angeles Lakers have agreed on a three-year, $40 million contract extension.
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma has agreed to a three-year, $40M contract extension, including a player option on 2023-2024 season, sources tell ESPN.
