KUZMA’S REBOUNDING
Kyle Kuzma has been contributing in the paint for the Wizards of late. Kuzma's 22 rebounds in a recent game for Washington was an NBA career-high for the fifth-year player (17 was his former personal record in NBA) He even surprised himself, saying while he once had 19 rebounds in a high school game, he has never had 22 in any game before.
“I’m just really locked in and focused,” Kuzma said. “I take care of my body every day. I just have to make sure my energy is right to come out and compete.”
RUI RETURNS
