Kyle Kuzma will be a starter for the Lakers against the Detroit Pistons on Thursday and will replace Anthony Davis.

Davis will miss the game, due to a quad injury (contusion), and the Lakers want to protect him in order to fully recover.

For his part, Kuzma is Frank Vogel’s first option when one of the Lakers starters is not available to play.

Kuzma and the Lakers want to bounce back from their loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday (106-107). This was the first road defeat for the defending champions this season (10-1).
