Kyle Kuzma forced his way out of the Washington Wizards after three and a half seasons, craving a more competitive environment, but his performance for the Milwaukee Bucks has left a lot to be desired.

The 29-year-old Kuzma was available on Saturday in Game 1 of the Bucks' first-round playoff series against the Indiana Pacers. But that didn't actually lead to good things for the Bucks as they fell behind early and never recovered in a 117-98 loss in the series opener at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Kyle Kuzma hadn't participated in a playoff game since 2021, when he was still with the Los Angeles Lakers. For all intents and purposes, that streak continued after his historically bad showing in the Milwaukee Bucks' 117-98 loss to the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of the team's first-round series.
