Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma will make his team debut in Friday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Following his trade from the Washington Wizards, it was initially uncertain if Kuzma would be available to suit up on Friday. The Bucks have Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) on the shelf, so Kuzma has a good opportunity to make a significant impact right away. It's a good fantasy matchup against a team ranked second in pace but with a mediocre defensive rating.
Kyle Kuzma Questionable To Make Bucks Debut On Friday
Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma is listed as questionable to debut with his new club on Friday. Kuzma was a part of the trade that sent Kris Middleton to the Wizards on Wednesday. The 29-year-old suited up 32 times for Washington this season before the Bucks acquired him. In D.C., he averaged 15.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.4 three-pointers in 27.7 minutes per contest. If Kuzma doesn't play this evening, he could make his Bucks debut on Sunday at home against the Sixers.
Shams Charania of ESPN reports that the Milwaukee Bucks acquired forward Kyle Kuzma, forward Patrick Baldwin Jr. and a 2025 second-round draft pick from the Wizards on Wednesday for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson and a 2028 first-round pick swap. Kuzma has struggled at times during the season, averaging 15.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.4 three-pointers in 27.7 minutes per contest. However, a change of scenery may help the 29-year-old fantasy-wise, as he could move into the Bucks' starting lineup.
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (calf) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Kuzma exited early on Tuesday due to a right calf contusion, but it doesn't look like it's going to cost him any time. He was listed as questionable coming into the game, but he'll ultimately suit up on Wednesday. He has been playing better lately with a 28-point performance last week. Fantasy managers who have Kuzma rostered can get him back in there on Wednesday. Kuzma has been inconsistent this season, but he's still worth rostering in most fantasy formats.
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma exited Tuesday night's game against the Houston Rockets early with a calf contusion, according to the team. Kuzma scored 10 points and grabbed six rebounds before leaving after halftime. The 29-year-old has already missed 12 games this season due to a rib injury. If Kuzma is forced to miss extended time, expect Corey Kispert to get more playing time at forward.
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ribs) will return to action on Monday versus the Knicks. A left rib injury has kept Kuzma off the court for 12 games. Kuzma has struggled to stay healthy all season, making just 12 appearances. He has scored 15.8 points per game while grabbing 5.6 rebounds. Jordan Poole (hip) is out on Monday, so we should see Kuzma plenty with the ball, although he might be a bit rusty after missing a month of action.
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ribs) wasn't available for Tuesday's practice but is ramping up in his recovery. Kuzma suffered a rib cartilage sprain on Nov. 27 in a game against the Clippers. He's been out for the subsequent seven contests. It looks like Kuzma still needs more time to recover, but his return shouldn't be far away anymore. The 29-year-old sits second in scoring on the team with 15.8 points per game and has averaged 5.6 rebounds. Bilal Coulibaly's role on offense has grown during Kuzma's absence. He's averaged 21.0 points across the past three games.
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ribs) has been ruled out again for the sixth consecutive game since injuring his ribs against the Los Angeles Clippers on November 27. The veteran power forward has yet to find his footing this year in the midst of the injuries he's experienced. Right now, his numbers have decreased across the board from last season, especially in scoring and efficiency. In his place, Justin Champagnie will likely continue to get some more playing time. Champagnie has averaged 15.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 2.3 steals per game over the last three games.
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ribs) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets, marking his fourth straight absence due to a sprained left rib. With Kuzma struggling to match his strong numbers from last season, this injury adds to his challenges. He's averaging 27.4 minutes, 15.8 points, and 5.6 rebounds per game this year, and his next opportunity to play will come Sunday against Memphis. In the meantime, Bilal Coulibaly, Carlton Carrington, and Johnny Davis are expected to step up and fill the void.
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (groin) won't suit up for Saturday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Kuzma injured his groin during Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, so fantasy managers already had an idea this was coming. He's already missed five games this season because of a rib injury. However, it's anyone's guess when the 29-year-old will be back on the floor. But until Kuzma returns, Kyshawn George, averaging 12.3 points and 5.3 boards in six starts this season, is worth streaming, although his 26.1% shooting from deep won't be appreciated by category managers.
