Kyle Kuzma Records Zero Across the Board in Bucks’ Playoffs Loss

The Milwaukee Bucks had a rough start to their NBA playoffs, losing 117-98 to the Indiana Pacers in the first game of the series. Unfortunately for them, Kyle Kuzma became an unlikely negative highlight. Traded mid-season from the Los Angeles Lakers for Chris Middleton, Kuzma was expected to bolster the team as a third pillar alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday. However, his performance was abysmal. In a rare and unfortunate feat, Kuzma achieved zero points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks in over 20 minutes of play. Specifically, he shot 0-for-5 from the field, 0-for-2 from three-point range, and 0-for-2 from the free-throw line in 21 minutes against the Pacers. This marks him as the first player in the last decade to record such statistics in a playoff game playing over 20 minutes. Fans and analysts alike will now watch closely to see how Kuzma responds in the upcoming matches of this crucial series.
