KEY POINTS

  • Vanessa Hudgens’s broke up with ex-boyfriend Austin Butler on January 14
  • Hudgens and Butler dated for nine years
  • Kuzma seems to be unbothered by the trade talks about him

Kyle Kuzma trade talks continue to make rounds in the league as his team Los Angeles Lakers are searching for a primary ball-handler that is more effective than Rajon Rondo and Alex Caruso when LeBron James is on the bench.

Last night may not be the best of nights to think about a potential move to another team as he’s still taking shots outside of Staples Center. TMZ Sports reported that the 24-year old forward had dinner with former Disney star Vanessa Hudgens.

Photos show that the two are enjoying the company of each other, having a good conversation and smiles over a bottle of wine at Lilia, an Italian restaurant in Brooklyn, NY.

The 31-year old Hudgens was seen commenting on an Instagram post of Kuzma with “Ya we doooo” which, as of now, got more than 1000 likes, speculating that there is something that is going on between the two. Popularly known for her leading role in the series “High School Musical”, Hudgens’s break-up with Austin Butler on January 14 was published on several news outlets.

Kuzma may have done his pre-game routine by spending time with the singer-actress before the Lakers hit the court in Manhattan as they face the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night. He and his team are looking forward to bouncing back from a 139-107 drubbing by the Boston Celtics on the road.

He, as usual, led the Lakers bench in scoring with 13 points, three rebounds, and a steal in 23 minutes of play though he shot poorly from the field, only making 4-of-12 shots. JaVale McGee led the team’s offense with 18 points, five rebounds, and three blocks as the Celtics limited James and Davis to a combined 24 points as Jason Tatum torched the purple and gold with his 27 points, five rebounds, three assists, and a steal.
