Turns in solid final line
Kuzma ended Thursday's 109-99 loss to the Wizards with 19 points (8-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds and six assists over 35 minutes.
Analysis
Kuzma failed to connect from beyond the arc, but he posted a serviceable shooting line and fell one rebound shy of a double-double. His production across the board has noticeably improved over his last three performances, as he's averaging 15.7 points, 9.0 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 34.0 minutes during that hot stretch. The Bucks will need to continue to lean heavily on Kuzma while Giannis Antetokounmpo recovers from a calf injury.

Absent from injury report
Kuzma (quadricep) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis
Kuzma left Tuesday's 139-122 loss to the 76ers due to a left quadricep cramp, but the issue has proven to be of minimal concern. The 30-year-old forward has started four consecutive games, during which Kuzma has averaged 11.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 31.4 minutes per contest. He should continue to handle increased usage due to Giannis Antetokounmpo's (calf) future in Milwaukee being uncertain.

Doesn't return Tuesday
Kuzma didn't return to Tuesday's 139-122 loss to the 76ers due to a left quadricep cramp, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. He finished with 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 32 minutes.
Analysis
Kuzma exited Tuesday's contest with 4:16 remaining in the fourth quarter and was unable to return. The 30-year-old forward scored in double figures for a second consecutive contest and dished out a season-high mark in assists, albeit in a losing effort. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Wizards.

Leaves for locker room
Kuzma exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to an apparent left leg injury, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Kuzma limped to the locker room with 4:16 remaining in the final quarter. If he's unable to return, he'll finish with 17 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 32 minutes.

Double-double in loss
Kuzma ended with 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-6 FT), 10 rebounds and six assists across 35 minutes in Friday's 102-100 loss to Denver.
Analysis
Kuzma made his third straight start Friday and delivered the most productive outing of the stretch, recording his third double-double of the season along with his highest assist total since Dec. 1. Entering the contest, the forward had averaged 13.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 29.5 minutes across his previous 17 starts. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) potentially sidelined for an extended period, Kuzma appears likely to retain a starting role moving forward.
