[Jolly Sports News] On Monday, Kyle Kuzma nearly turned Ben Simmons into a highlight casualty, but instead, the Washington Wizards forward ended up sharing in the embarrassment.
The Brooklyn Nets hosted Kuzma’s Wizards at Barclays Center, with the Wizards leading 9-8 early in the game. Kuzma executed a slick hesitation move that sent Simmons, a former Defensive Player of the Year runner-up, to the ground.
However, Kuzma’s shot afterward wasn’t just a miss—it was an airball. The Wizards’ bench had jumped up, ready to celebrate, only to sit back down with some second-hand embarrassment.
Kuzma has developed into a 20-point scorer over the past two seasons but still finds himself in some awkward moments on the court.
As for Simmons, he’s been a frequent target of criticism since leaving the Philadelphia 76ers in 2021.
