  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Out at least one week

    Hachimura underwent a procedure Friday to repair a nasal fracture and will be re-evaluated in one week, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    Hachimura sustained the facial injury during the Lakers' matchup with the Mavericks on Wednesday. With his re-evaluation coming in one week, it looks like his earliest opportunity to return will come next Saturday versus Houston. In his absence, Austin Reaves, Max Christie and Jarred Vanderbilt (heel) are candidates to see increased playing time off the bench.

  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Erupts for 23 points off bench

    Hachimura scored 23 points (8-10 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT) to go with three rebounds in 24 minutes in Tuesday's 134-107 win over the Grizzlies.

    With LeBron James (calf) making his return from a one-game absence, Hachimura was able to remain productive while coming off the bench. However, Hachimura needed some unsustainably hot shooting to get to clear the 20-point plateau, and he offered little in the way of production in other areas to support his scoring. The Lakers are listing James as questionable for the second leg of a back-to-back set Wednesday against the Kings, and if James sits out, Hachimura could at least have another opportunity to make a spot start.

  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Moves back to bench

    Hachimura isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Grizzlies, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    With LeBron James (calf) returning to the starting lineup, Hachimura will head back to the bench unit. Hachimura is averaging 11.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 18.0 minutes across his first five appearances coming off the bench this season.

  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Heavily involved in win

    Hachimura chipped in 19 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Sunday's 116-110 victory over the Trail Blazers.

    Hachimura stepped into the starting five in place of LeBron James (calf) and enjoyed a productive game. He spurred a late rally in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach, and his performance might be enough to get him into the starting lineup alongside a healthy James and Anthony Davis, if the Lakers are willing to move Taurean Prince or Cam Reddish to the bench.

  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Starting Sunday

    Hachimura is starting Sunday against the Trail Blazers, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    Hachimura will join the starting lineup for the first time this season with LeBron James (shin) unavailable Sunday. Hachimura has averaged 11.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 18.0 minutes per game over five appearances this season.

  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Returns with big scoring effort

    Hachimura accumulated 24 points (10-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 128-94 loss to the Rockets.

    Los Angeles was blown out Wednesday, but Hachimura was a bright spot in his return from a four-game absence while in the league's concussion protocol. The forward led the Lakers in scoring despite coming off the bench, and he also tied for the team lead with eight boards. Hachimura hadn't played more than 17 minutes in any game prior to Wednesday, and his increased opportunity was partially due to both the absence of Anthony Davis (groin) and the blowout nature of the score, but the big performance could earn him more minutes for a Lakers team that is struggling to begin the campaign.

  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Cleared to play

    Hachimura (concussion) is available to play against the Rockets on Wednesday, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports.

    Hachimura is officially back after missing the past four games for the Lakers. His return will be a welcome sight for the Lakers, as Anthony Davis is questionable to play due to a hip issue. For now, there's no word of any restrictions for Hachimura.

  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Gradually progressing

    Hachimura (concussion) is considered day-to-day, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

    Hachimura has missed the Lakers' past three games, but he appears to be on the mend. Returning Wednesday against Houston is a possibility, but Los Angeles may opt to exercise an abundance of caution with Hachimura.

  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Remains out

    Hachimura (eye/concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against the Magic, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Hachimura will miss a third straight game due to a left eye contusion and has landed in concussion protocol. His next chance to suit up will come Monday in Miami. In Hachimura's absence, Christian Wood and Jaxson Hayes remain candidates for slightly increased roles.

  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Downgraded to doubtful

    Hachimura (eye contusion) has been downgraded to doubtful versus Orlando on Monday, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    Hachimura suffered an eye contusion in Sunday's overtime loss to the Kings, and the injury is proving cumbersome enough to make him doubtful Monday. If he is officially ruled out, Gabe Vincent and Cam Reddish are candidates to step up.

  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Probable Monday

    Hachimura is probable for Monday's game against the Magic due to a left eye contusion, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

    Despite his injury, Hachimura will likely be able to suit up for the second half of the Lakers' back-to-back set Monday. He's seen consistent minutes off the bench early in the year, averaging 8.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game over three appearances.

  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Back to bench

    Hachimura will return to the bench for Thursday's preseason game against the Suns, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

    No surprise here, as LeBron James is back after resting Sunday against the Bucks. While there is still no official word on who the fifth starter will be for the Lakers on Opening Night, Taurean Prince seems to be gaining some momentum with Jarred Vanderbilt (heel) sidelined.
