Kyle Kuzma has had a bumpy NBA career.
It’s never hit a lower point than it did on Monday night for the Milwaukee Bucks against the Boston Celtics.
Kuzma didn’t play a single second.
It’s the first time in his entire career that Kuzma has been a DNP-CD (coach’s decision), according to Keith Smith.
Kuzma did indeed end up a DNP-CD.
As best as I can tell from a quick look through his game logs, this is the first DNP-CD in Kuzma’s nine-year career. https://t.co/StpOdqKkSL

This was a game the Bucks lost by 27 points. They certainly could’ve changed it up at some point.
Instead, Kuzma just got to watch the mess all night long.
The Bucks shot 36% from the floor and turned the ball over 16 times. Kuzma didn’t get a chance to help.
Clearly, he’s not at his peak level at this point, but still — he has played 23 or more minutes in each of the Bucks’ last four games up to this point.
On the season, Kuzma is averaging 26.5 minutes per game with averages of 12.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists.
On this night, everything was a zero.
