Kyle Kuzma got emotional speaking about his new project to help female inmates at the Genesee County Jail. In an exclusive interview with People Magazine, Kuzma said that he wants to help these people get reintegrated into society by giving them a second chance in life.

Through his foundation, he donated $60,000 worth of clothes, as well as helping improve their living conditions once they're released:

"A lot of times, these women have been abused, have been down pretty rough paths in their lives, and no one's ever probably told them they did a good job or that they're valuable, and for them to be here, that's giving hope," Kuzma said.

He added:

"For us and our foundation just to be around the female inmates was very touching for us. Even to be a small part of it and seeing the impact of what the program meant to their growth and self-development was unbelievable."

Kyle Kuzma was the star in the Washington Wizards' 126-107 win against the Detroit Pistons on Monday night. He led the way with a game-high 32 points plus 12 rebounds and eight assists. He went 10-for-23 from the field but was 10-for-11 from the charity stripe.

With their win in Detroit, the Wizards snapped their nine-game losing streak and improved to 3-14 for the season. In the process, they sent the lowly Pistons to their 14th straight loss and two defeats away from going winless in November.

Kuzma was born and raised in Flint, Michigan and played the first three years of high school basketball in the state.

He moved to Philadelphia for his senior season at the famed Rise Academy. He played three years in Utah before the LA Lakers drafted him at No. 27 in 2017.
