VIDEO: Kyle Kuzma Exits Lakers Game With Bloody Eye After Getting Elbowed By Darius Bazley

Kyle Kuzma was quickly introduced to Darius Bazley tonight as he took a shot to the eye and was left leaking blood. He had to be directed off the court after being notified that his eye was, indeed, bleeding. Kuzma wasn't even aware that he was cut at first!

The blow came on a clean play during the second quarter of Tuesday night's game. The Lakers forward quickly placed a towel over the eye and was taken to the locker room for further inspection.

Bazley, the Thunder's first-round pick, was driving to the rim when he inadvertently elbowed Kuzma in the right eye.

Kuzma did not return to the first half of the game, as the Lakers went into the locker room for halftime with a 10-point lead.

We're hoping he avoided a serious injury to his eye, and that we see him back on the court in the second half of the showdown against the Thunder. The last thing the Lakers need is their young stud going down with a facial injury.
