5 years agoLos Angeles Lakers small/power forward Kyle Kuzma has been ruled out in advance of Sunday’s contest versus the Atlanta Hawks due to a sprained left ankle. Kuzma’s absence will mark his third consecutive game on the sidelines, with the Lakers having reallocated his minutes throughout the team’s second unit. Kuzma has scuffled during his third professional campaign, seeing his scoring average drop to 11.1 points per contest. He has fallen out of season-long consideration in a large portion of fantasy formats, averaging more than six fewer shots per game than he did last season. His next chance at returning to the floor comes Tuesday versus a stingy Indiana defensive unit.--Jesse Borek
