Recently, a report by Jordan Schultz appeared suggesting that Dennis Schroder and Kyle Kuzma feuded throughout the season. The report was dismissed by Kuzma’s manager Vin Sparacio.

Now a gesture from Schroder appears to add to it. The German point guard congratulated Kuzma for his 26th birthday via an Instagram story, writing “My dawg .. live it up & stay blessed & healthy”

Both players have their future with the Los Angeles Lakers in doubt. Kuzma is reportedly looking for a more consistent role and is already being included in trade rumors. Meanwhile, Schroder became an unrestricted free agent and is reportedly expecting to get a contract in the range of $100-120 million. The Lakers reportedly are in the search for a starting point guard with shooting ability to replace Schroder.
