Many believe that LeBron James has been single-handedly carrying the Lakers this season. James was on fire again for the Lakers in their last game, but couldn’t save them against the Grizzlies. While the Lakers are struggling, some of their former stars who left during the summer have been doing really well.

Former Lakers star Kyle Kuzma has settled in well at the Wizards. Kuzma recently stepped up for the Wizards as they beat Oklahoma City Thunder by 4 points. Kyle recorded 29 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists vs the Thunder in 35 minutes.

Earlier, he was a regular starter for the Lakers for a season but lost his place during their championship-winning season.
