Kyle Kuzma leaves the Raptors game with an ankle injury

Kyle Kuzma suffered an injury on Friday night match between Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors.

Kuzmi began his second season with the Bucks on Wednesday. He began his stay in Milwaukee after the team acquired him from the Washington Wizards in exchange for Khris Middleton.

He came off the bench in this match, playing 18 minutes before picking up an injury. It happened in the first minute of the fourth quarter, when he landed on the leg of an opposing player and limped to the locker room. NBA insider Brett Siegel later reported that the veteran forward would miss the rest of the game.

“The Bucks say Kyle Kuzma has a sprained left ankle and will miss the remainder of tonight’s game against the Raptors,” Siegel wrote.

Kuzma finished the night with eight points, three rebounds and a steal on 4-of-5 shooting from the field.
