Kyle Kuzma: Kuz fans will be happy about what I do on the court this season. Such a good rhythm this summer excited to build on the consistency I had last season💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
As part of a looming Giannis deal that is expected to happen this offseason, the Bucks are also exploring possible ways to include both Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis. "The Bucks are also looking to potentially offload Kyle Kuzma and Bobby Portis’ salaries in a potential Giannis deal, so there are a lot of balls in the air for them," NBA Insider Jake Fischer said in his latest updates for Bleacher Report.
Kyle Kuzma: I will be breaking my silence soon & going on TBPN to discuss the future of AI, autonomous defense, robotics and biotech and energy infrastructure @sama, let me know if you want to meet after. We are still in the early innings of American Dynamism. Much to discuss.
Front Office Sports: Kyle Kuzma on Adam Silver saying AI will eventually make calls in NBA games, such as out-of-bounds: “I think that’s a great idea, because we have these coaching challenges and stoppage during games where five minutes of real time may go off, and we’re just sitting there."
Kyle Kuzma has drawn attention beyond basketball after revealing a large prediction-market bet on Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt, according to a post he shared on X. The Milwaukee Bucks forward posted a screenshot from Kalshi showing a $36,069 wager on Pratt, with a potential maximum payout listed at $133,588.89. The move quickly circulated across social media as the election cycle in Los Angeles intensified ahead of the June 2 primary.

The Bucks are also leaving the door open to pursue a major trade to convince Antetokounmpo to stay once again, allowing Horst to work parallel paths. They will have up to three first-round picks and tradeable contracts such as Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma to offer in deals this offseason. One of those first-rounders is the less favorable of their own or the New Orleans Pelicans' this year.
Rich Rovito: #Bucks injury report for Sunday's season finale against the #76ers in Philadelphia. OUT: Giannis Antetokounmpo (left knee hyperextension; bone bruise), Kyle Kuzma (right Achilles), Kevin Porter Jr. (right knee surgery), Bobby Portis Jr. (left wrist), Ryan Rollins (right thumb), Gary Trent Jr. (oblique strain), Myles Turner (left ankle sprain) Questionable: Gary Harris (right groin tightness), Pete Nance (right knee sprain)
Jon Horst: Doc’s been an unbelievable partner for me going through a really tough season. We haven’t won a playoff series in three years or four years, whatever. Well, Doc’s been part of that, and we’ve had injuries every year. Giannis has been part of that. I’ve been part of that. The teams that we’ve built, the injuries that we’ve had, the decisions we’ve made, we’ve all been part of that, and we’re all part of this right now. But for me, I don’t classify that as a strained relationship. I don’t have any less love or respect or belief or gratitude toward Giannis or anyone that works with him. I really don’t. I am going through a tough situation. We are going through a tough situation together, and I’m only trying to find the right outcome. I’m trying to do that together with them, and I’m trying to do what’s best for us and best for them, even if it’s uncomfortable. But I don’t have any ill will. I don’t feel a strained relationship. I feel the results of a strange situation of a season that’s not where any of us wanted it to be. He had hopes of having a great season. He had belief. He’s done everything (he) can. That’s absolutely true. I have, too. So has Doc Rivers. So has Kyle Kuzma. We didn’t get there. For the first time in 10 years, we didn’t get there, where going into the playoffs we were like, “Man, we got a chance,” and that sucks. I’m pretty excited about figuring it out going forward, but right now, it sucks.
According to sources, Rivers told a group of veterans, such as Kuzma and Turner, that ownership did not want them to sit because of illegitimate injuries. The expectation was made clear that no one would be shut down early. However, no such edict was delivered from the Bucks to Giannis Antetokounmpo. Multiple sources said the Bucks' decision to sit Antetokounmpo cost him a significant bonus in his Nike endorsement contract that would have been triggered if he played at least 41 games.
