Kyle Kuzma seems to be feeling the heat of his team’s reported pursuit of San Antonio Spurs star Kawhi Leonard.
The young Los Angeles Lakers forward took to Twitter on Thursday to post a cryptic tweet. The tweet was a GIF of himself looking concerned.

A couple of hours earlier, Kuzma also had a tweet clowning the media for their reporting of the recent trade rumors.
Asking for a friend. Who gives the media this much info? You’d think the media are the ones making the trades

Kuzma’s posts come in the wake of reports this week that the Lakers are renewing their efforts to acquire Leonard. Any potential trade package for the ex-Defensive Player of the Year would presumably require them to part ways with multiple of their young players and assets, Kuzma possibly included.
Just days ago, the 22-year-old Kuzma was hinting that the Lakers had a big future ahead of them. Now the concern for him has to be that he may not be a part of that future after all.
