The Lakers (3-1) are beginning a three-game road trip (Dallas, San Antonio, Chicago) and will have a key player back in their rotation.
Third-year forward Kyle Kuzma will make his season debut on Friday against the Mavericks, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Kuzma has been sidelined with a left foot injury that he sustained while training with USA Basketball this summer. He averaged 18.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists last season.
