The veteran forward returns to Brian Keefe’s rotation but can’t stop the Wizards from dropping their second game to the Knicks in three nights.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma made his triumphant return to the lineup after a month away from the court due to a rib cartilage injury. In 21 minutes off the bench for the Wizards, Kuzma scored nine points as Washington lost 126-106 to the New York Knicks.

The Washington Wizards are targeting Monday vs the Knicks as a possible injury return date for wing Kyle Kuzma.
