Following their most recent defeat against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Bucks have slipped to the 15th spot in the Eastern Conference, with a league-worst 1-11 record.
Even then, Bucks star Kyle Kuzma is apparently more worried about what’s happening in Palestine than about playing basketball.
NBA fans sound off on Kyle Kuzma’s ‘Free Palestine’ demand
In light of the Israel-Palestine conflict’s latest tragedy in Gaza, Kuzma prayed for the souls of citizens who passed away and demanded to ‘Free Palestine’ on X.
“Praying for the lost souls at Nasser Hospital. Doctors and children dying in hospitals that are much needed in the region that are used as command centers for Hamas. Truly evil. Free Palestine,” Kuzma wrote on X.

Kuzma’s message went viral and at the time of writing, already has over 1.9 million views on X. Despite that, most fans showed no sympathy to the Bucks star and instead demanded him to focus on his NBA career.
“You’re disgusting,” a fan wrote. While another added, “You’re so disgusting please do not ever speak about my country again and focus on shooting over 30% from three before you end up playing in China.”
“One of the few people who should actually shut up and dribble,” a third fan pointed out. A fourth fan stated, “Keep Palestine out of your propaganda prayers.”
“What little respect there was for you left in the world just vanished just like that,” a furious fan claimed.
