Is Kyle Kuzma playing tonight against Philadelphia 76ers? Exploring Bucks forward's availability (Feb. 9)

Kyle Kuzma is available to suit up for the Milwaukee Bucks as they face the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.

The former NBA champion made his debut for the Bucks during their 115-110 loss against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. Kuzma played close to 24 minutes and recorded 12 points, seven rebounds and an assist off the bench.

Kyle Kuzma was acquired by the Bucks from the Washington Wizards on the trade deadline day in a four-team deal that sent Khris Middleton to the Wizards. He expressed excitement about the move as he discussed the trade after landing in Milwaukee on Friday.

"When I heard the news, I was super ecstatic to be here. I wanted to be here," Luzma said.

"Just because I knew this is a place to potentially compete for a championship and play high-level winning basketball again. That was the most important thing. I told my mom that I'll be living out my midwest dream. Being from Michigan, living close to the lake."

This season, Kyle Kuzma is averaging 15.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists while shooting 41.7%, including 28.6% from beyond the arc.
