The Milwaukee Bucks social media team tried to make their fans happy with a video core of their players’ best and funniest moments of the 2024-25 season. It did the job but one thing that it also created is wild speculations about Kyle Kuzma.

Some eagle-eyed fans thought there was one player missing in the 57-second video that featured pre-game funny moments and the players just goofing around.

Milwaukee Bucks, Kyle Kuzma

Kuzma had a brutal end to the season after he was acquired by the team in February from the Washington Wizards that led to them letting go of Bucks’ 2021 title-winning player and All-Star Khris Middleton.
He had zero point in Game 1 and broke double digit scoring just once in five games to the point that he was benched in many fourth quarters of many games.
Milwaukee Bucks trading Kyle Kuzma?
Reports said that the Bucks will be extra aggressive in the trade market to build a team around Giannis Antetokounmpo and be able to contend in the 2025-2026 season.
Among their immediate needs is a legit scorer who can fulfill the role of Damian Lillard who will be out for a long time. That role should have been Kuzma’s but his performance with the team is not that promising.

Bucks Realm floated rumors that the front office are looking at Kuzma to acquire new players.
BREAKING: The Bucks have already begun exploring the option of trading F Kyle Kuzma in favor of depth should the right deal materialize, sources tell me.
The FO believes Kuzma can be the high-volume scorer that they saw at the deadline, but youth & depth appear to be paramount. pic.twitter.com/b03REb2Ivs

From the vide core to the Bucks’ report on becoming aggressive, is everything connected? Is Kuzma’s time with the team coming to an end?
