But Kuzma is keeping his options open as his career-best season chugs along. “Yeah, 100 percent, for sure,” Kuzma said when asked whether he could see himself returning to the Wizards should the right deal come along. “For me, it’s all about my growth and how I can improve. That’s the thing I’m always chasing — trying to get better. That’s the main, important thing.”

Would Kyle Kuzma consider a “return” to the Wizards this summer after exploring free agency, despite the many (many) complicating factors on the team’s end?
“100 percent.”

It’s 93-93 entering the 4th quarter between the Wizards and Warriors.
Kyle Kuzma has had a chance to beat the buzzer in all three quarters so far. He made one to end the 1st. Wonder if he’ll get a 4th attempt. – 4:53 PM

Kyle Kuzma end of quarter half court heaves have been plentiful through three quarters of Wizards-Warriors, credit to him not worrying about his shooting percentages in a contract year
– Cash money in the first
– On a good line but short in the second
– Front rim in the third – 4:52 PM

More on this storyline
Kyle Kuzma on his pink sweater bobblehead – “Amazing, it’s a blessing” – Prefers “action figure Kuz, I like that vibe” – “I knew it was going to go viral, not globally how it did and how it went crazy” – Has the original pink sweater hanging on his wall at home -via Twitter / January 14, 2023
Kuzma has emerged as a bit of a fashion icon and he was very much on-brand with his statement here. The 27-year-old also admitted that he knew that his outfit was going to blow up, but he honestly did not expect it to get this massive: “I mean, I knew it was gonna go viral,” Kuz said. “Not globally how it did, how it just went crazy. But hopefully, I made Raf Simons a lot of money.” -via Clutch Points / January 14, 2023
