Kyle Kuzma: 'We can't guard a stop sign'
Josh Robbins: Kyle Kuzma was asked by @TheAthleticNBA how this game got out of hand. His answer: “We can’t guard a stop sign. That’s kind of really what it boils down to. We let anybody get whatever they want on us. So, until we change that, then that’s probably going to be the result.”

¿Qué hizo Kyle Kuzma el domingo que tenía libre? Visito una cárcel de mujeres en su Flint, Michigan natal, le habló a un grupo a punto de cumplir su sentencia, trajo regalos para sus hijos y donó $60,000 para comprar ropa para ir a entrevistas de trabajo.

Apparently the 3Q isn’t over. Pistons have 0.6 seconds because Kuzma went out of bounds – 8:50 PM

Pistons had a chance to go into the fourth down single digits then Kuzma pulled up from Frankenmuth and it was all net lol
Wizards 94, Pistons 83 going into fourth. – 8:49 PM

End of 3: Wizards 94, Pistons 83. Burks got it back to single digits with a late 3pt play, only for Kuzma — who scored 18 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished three assists in the 3rd — to hit a deep pullup.
Buckle up. – 8:48 PM

Poole just picked up a tech. Kuzma had to hold him back from engaging with the ref. Heard a couple of “Draymond Green” chants. – 8:39 PM

More on this storyline
Kyle Kuzma: Damn bro why you wanna trade me? -via Twitter / November 28, 2023
On Monday, Kyle Kuzma and his Family Foundation announced a powerful new partnership to benefit women in jail in his hometown of Flint, Michigan. The 2020 NBA champion, 28, will work with Flint-founded programs I.G.N.I.T.E and R.I.S.E to improve living conditions and provide essential resources for successful reentry into society. -via People / November 27, 2023
To launch the long-term collaboration between the NBA star and the reform programs, Kuzma and his mother, Karri, surprised the audience at I.G.N.I.T.E’s 23rd graduation ceremony at the Genessee County Jail in Michigan on Sunday. The Flint native delivered the ceremony’s commencement speech, and afterward, the graduates were invited to a holiday party where they received gifts and a selection of clothes from Kuzma’s donation to inspire confidence and help them with self-care upon their reentry into the community. -via People / November 27, 2023
