Kyle Kuzma spent a handful of mostly solid, if unremarkable, seasons playing for the Washington Wizards before he was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks at this year's NBA trade deadline. Getting sent to another Eastern Conference foe promised, among other things, that Wizards fans wouldn't have to wait long to see Kuzma again. The forward returned to Washington on Friday night with the Bucks and helped beat his former team, scoring 19 points to give Milwaukee the edge despite a foul-plagued night for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Afterwards, Kuzma spoke to reporters about the experience of playing against the Wizards in an enemy uniform and shared a funny anecdote that goes to show how tricky the transition can be for professional athletes after being traded— he celebrated a block on his current Bucks teammate with his old Wizards teammate.
