PUMA is still on the hunt for new talent and they’ve pounced on their biggest prey yet. PUMA has officially inked Los Angeles Lakers Forward Kyle Kuzma to a multi-year shoe deal reportedly worth $15 million over 5 years. The acquisition of Kyle comes as a bit of a surprise especially after Kyle’s deal with GOAT and his position as a Kobe acolyte, even having a pair of the Undefeated x Kobe IV Protro dedicated to him. 

PUMA immediately capitalized on the reveal, erecting a billboard in Los Angeles with “KUZ” stamped over the PUMA branding. Rumors began to spread just recently when Kuzma was spotted at Lakers media day wearing a pair of the PUMA x Rhude Alteration sneakers. Kuzma joins a wealth of young talent including Terry Rozier, RJ Barrett, Kevin Knox, Marvin Bagley, and 2018 number one overall draft pick Deandre Ayton.

PUMA basketball is back, baby.
