Fans were quick to criticize Kyle Kuzma after the Milwaukee Bucks’ 139-106 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday. Kuzma is struggling this season, posting career-low scoring numbers and failing to make a consistent impact on the court.
The Bucks forward managed just two points, two assists, and one block in nearly 21 minutes of action. He posted the team’s worst plus-minus at minus 37 as the Timberwolves cruised to a victory at the Fiserv Forum.
Before the Milwaukee Bucks’ lopsided defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kyle Kuzma made an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show.

The timing of the taping is unclear, but it likely coincided with the Bucks’ recent stop in Los Angeles during their four-game Western Conference road trip. The show’s social media amplified attention on Kuzma, highlighting his playful “spirit tunnel” walk before the interview with a caption “@kuz don’t miss!”
Bucks fans troll Kyle Kuzma online
After his poor showing against the Timberwolves, fans quickly seized on the clip of Kuzma’s “spirit tunnel” walk and his dance, using it as fuel to troll him online.
“Giannis leaving fosho now,” wrote a fan on the show’s social media’s comment section.
“aaaaand blown out by 30” commented another.
“My boy had 2 points tonight,” another user wrote.
To give Kuzma some credit, he took just one shot, and knocked it down. Even so, with a $22.4 million salary this season, he is expected to be more aggressive offensively, and many Bucks fans are clearly frustrated by his limited involvement.
Kyle Kuzma is putting up 12.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game this season. He’s started 21 games but has been inconsistent under Doc Rivers. His two-point performance against the Timberwolves marked his ninth game of the season with single-digit scoring.
The Bucks traded for Kuzma from the Washington Wizards at last season’s trade deadline, aiming to bolster Giannis Antetokounmpo’s supporting cast. The deal included sending away longtime franchise star Khris Middleton, who is currently averaging 9.3 points per game in Washington.
