Kyle Kuzma injury update after leaving Raptors game
The Milwaukee Bucks they started the 2025-26 season 2-0 with wins over the Washington Wizards and Toronto Raptors. The Bucks next game is Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and it’s possible they could be short after Kyle Kuzma left the Raptors game with an ankle injury.
It’s Kyle Kuzma officially listed as suspicious on the Bucks’ injury report for their game against the Cavaliers, per Eric Nemo of The Athletic. Kuzma suffered an ankle injury early in the fourth quarter of the Bucks’ win against the Raptors and was forced to leave the game.
Kuzma went to contest the shot and landed awkwardly on his ankle. He left the game, and Rivers said he suffered a sprain, according to Nemo.
“A sprain, it’s not bad,” Rivers said. “He actually tried to run and then they just pulled him out. Probably day to day.”
Kuzma was initially acquired by the Bucks in a trade during last season’s deadline in the same deal that dealt Khris Middleton to the Washington Wizards. Kuzma appeared in 33 games for the Bucks after the trade with just over 31 minutes per game.
He averaged 14.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 45.5 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from the three-point line and 66.3 percent from the free throw line.
During the Bucks’ first-round playoff elimination against the Indiana Pacers, Kuzma suffered a thumb injury that caused his regular season production to drop. He averaged just 5.8 points during the series, along with 2.2 rebounds in just over 20 minutes of play. He shot 34.3 percent from the field, 20 percent from the three-point line and 50 percent from the free throw line.
In the Bucks’ first two games of the season, Kuzma averaged 10.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks while shooting 60 percent from the field and 100 percent from the free throw line.
