Kuzma (ankle) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Kuzma missed 10 of Washington's final 15 regular-season games, including five straight to end the campaign. However, that was likely precautionary and helped the Wizards improve their draft position. Kuzma averaged career highs in points (22.2) and assists (4.2) per game last season while also posting career-best percentages from the field (46.3) and charity stripe (77.5). Kuzma could be a trade candidate if the Wizards fall out of playoff contention again, but as long as he's in Washington, the dynamic scorer should be a go-to player and reap the statistical benefits.
