Kyle Kuzma extended by the Los Angeles Lakers via its option

It's not a secret, the Los Angeles Lakers rely heavily on Kyle Kuzma. The leaders of the California franchise have also refused to include in the deal with the New Orleans Pelicans at the coming ofAnthony Davis. Behind LeBron James and Davis, the young inner must represent the 3rd option of this team. And above all, at 24, he also embodies a long-term project for the Angelenos. Quite logically, the Lakers have decided to activate the "team option" present in Kuzma's contract. Thus, the winger-strong will be under contract until 2021. With a contract of "only" 3.56 million dollars for the 4th year of his rookie contract.

If the Lakers have formalized the news this Fridaythis decision was not subject to any hesitation. Indeed, this choice was made this summer, when Kuzma was still with Team USA to prepare for the World Cup. And of course we understand this logical movement made by the Los Angeles team. Now, Kyle Kuzma is preparing to return to the floors. Touched, the young talent was recently allowed to resume contactless training. In other words, it should not be long before coming to support its partners.
