WASHINGTON — Kyle Kuzma returned to Washington as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks, and he scored 19 points in their 104-101 victory over the Wizards. Kuzma was traded from Washington to Milwaukee earlier this month. Khris Middleton went to Washington in the deal. Middleton missed a last-second 3-pointer that would have tied it in what was his debut for the Wizards. Kuzma hasn't been with Milwaukee for long, but the Bucks already need him to perform. Bobby Portis Jr. is unavailable because of a drug suspension, and Damian Lillard missed Friday's game with hamstring issues.
