    Hachimura is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Kings due to a left tibial contusion, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    It's unclear when Hachimura suffered the injury, but the probable tag suggests the forward should be able to suit up Saturday while handling his regular workload.

    Hachimura chipped in 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals across 39 minutes during Sunday's 107-98 win over the Trail Blazers.

  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Productive at both ends Friday

    Hachimura posted 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 41 minutes during Friday's 134-132 overtime loss to Atlanta.

    It was the first time this season Hachimura produced multiple steals and blocks in the same game, and the 26-year-old forward fell one board shy of his second double-double. Hachimura has been a useful complementary player for the Lakers since his late November return from an ankle injury, averaging 11.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks over eight starts while shooting 60.0 percent from the floor.

  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Logs 13 points in win

    Hachimura finished Sunday's 105-104 win over the Jazz with 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals in 40 minutes.

    Hachimura is slowly working his way back into the groove, although he's yet to post numbers that reflect results prior to his four-game absence. He logged 40 minutes during Sunday's win and should be provided every opportunity to get back on track, though it may take another game or two to see more customary numbers.

  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Struggles in loss

    Hachimura amassed seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 127-100 loss to the Suns.

    Hachimura's two games since his return have fallen short of expectations. A return to his customary production may require some patience, as his ankle injury might still be a lingering issue. the Lakers went 3-1 during his absence, so the team can certainly afford to give him some additional days for rest and injury management.

  • Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Posts 10 points in return

    Hachimura (ankle) scored 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and added three assists, two rebounds and one steal across 22 minutes in Saturday's 127-102 loss to the Nuggets.

    In his return from a five-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, Hachimura took back his spot in the starting five, with rookie Dalton Knecht moving to the bench as a result. Though Knecht (28 minutes) still outpaced him in playing time, the blowout nature of the game may have played a factor in Hachimura's lower minutes total. Prior to Saturday, Hachimura had been averaging 33.9 minutes per game over his 10 appearances on the season, so expect his playing time to pick up a bit as he becomes further removed from the ankle sprain.
