Kyle Kuzma Net Worth: Vanessa Hudgen's Date Buddy Is Earning This Much

Kyle Kuzma’s net worth is estimated at $3 million. The Los Angeles Lakers forward still has a year to play in LA after this season, that is if he will not get traded soon.

Kuzma’s play has its ups and downs this season. The Lakers are stacked and sharing minutes with other players could have affected his production. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are spearheading the offense and when they cannot play due to injuries, Kuzma and the others must show they can step up.

The 24-year-old showed his massive potential after being named in the 2018 NBA All-Rookie First Team. His team kept him and traded another forward Brandon Ingram for Anthony Davis. If his production stays the same, there is a growing notion around the league that the Lakers might entertain trade offers for him soon.

Among the notable feats of his young career include a 41-point career night in 2019, a streak of close to scoring 30 points in three games for a Lakers rookie since Jerry West did it in 1961 and a 38-point night on 80 percent field goal percentage in a win over Houston.

Aside from his NBA salary. Kuzma rakes in money via endorsement deals. He recently signed with PUMA for $3 million a year on a five-year deal. He joined fellow NBA youngsters Deandre Ayton, Marvin Bagley III, Kevin Knox and Terry Rozier in the PUMA stable.

So far, he is averaging 13 points per game this year, which dipped from his career average of 16 points per game.

If he is finding it hard to get rhythm on the basketball court, it seems he has no trouble scoring points off it. Rumors have spread that he is dating actress Vanessa Hudgens after they were spotted on a dinner date. She then went on to watch a Lakers game a day after.

Hudgens is single at the moment after splitting with her now ex-boyfriend Austin Butler. The two dated for nine years. Kuzma, on the other hand, has been linked to Kendall Jenner before. After Jenner broke up with NBA player Ben Simmons, she and Kuzma have been spotted together in a boat trip in July last year.

If rumors are true and Kuzma has indeed been dating Hudgens, Lakers fans are hoping the new inspiration can spark a turnaround to his dismal performance on the court. He is still on a rookie contract and is set to get more than $5 million next year. Critics believe the Lakers need Kuzma to step up if they want to go deep in the playoffs this season.
