Lakers lose Kuzma in Thunder loss as injury woes compound

Los Angeles Lakers lost to Oklahoma City Thunder 107-100 in a game that saw them lose forward Kyle Kuzma to a lower back contusion as their injury woes compound.

Kuzma is the Lakers’ second-leading scorer this season behind LeBron James with an 18.3 points average and was limited to only the first half of the game with 4 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 3 steals. 

The Lakers are going through an injury crisis, having lost talisman LeBron James to a strained groin, veteran Rajon Rondo to hand surgery, JaVale McGee to a bout of pneumonia and Michael Beasley out for personal reasons.

The Lakers are 1-3 without James this season and are the no 8 seed in the Western Conference with a 21-17 record.
