Kyle Kuzma went onto delete his Instagram post where he took a shot at Los Angeles Lakers after they lost to GSW
They were far from their best in preseason and come their opening game of the 2021 NBA season, Los Angeles Lakers showed that they have a long race to run before they are functioning at their 100%.
The team slumped to a season opening defeat when it took on Golden State Warriors with no one apart from Anthony Davis or LeBron James delivering for the side. Despite the slew of big name signings, the side failed to showcase its mettle on the night with Russell Westbrook in particular enduring a far from impressive showing.
Kyle Kuzma Takes A Jibe At Los Angeles Lakers After Their Defeat
Westbrook’s showing offered Kyle Kuzma the opportunity to take a swipe at the Lakers who had traded him and a string of others for Westbrook. The player took to Instagram to mock the Lakers as he commented a string of laughing emojis on a tweet saying the Lakers were 0-7 without Kuzma.
Kuzma eventually went onto delete the post with the Lakers fans berating him. The player is in Washington for the 2021 season along with Bradley Beal and will be striving to show that the Lakers were wrong to part company with him.
Meanwhile for the Lakers, the ongoing season requires much work if the side is to truly emerge as a championship calibre side. The team is yet to function as a unit and it remains to be seen if the side can fit in all the players it has roped in ahead of the new season as a unit.
