Kuzma has been out of the Lakers’ games thus far as he was recovering from a stress fracture in his foot he suffered back in August.
Luckily, this report is an indication that Kuzma has responded well to treatment and is either at or near 100 percent health.
Last season, Kuzma served as an important scoring option for an oft-injured roster, averaging 18.7 points per game on 45.6 percent shooting from the field.
With the offseason addition of Anthony Davis, it will be fascinating to see how the superstar big man opens up lanes for Kuzma on the offensive side of the ball.
