Rui Hachimura News, Rumors, Updates - LA Clippers

Paces LAC in preseason win Hachimura tallied 16 points (5-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two steals and one assist across 24 minutes in Wednesday's 122-110 preseason win over Denver.

Impact Hachimura put together a solid effort in the victory, leading Los Angeles in scoring while tying four teammates for the team lead in rebounds. After spending the past three and a half seasons with the Lakers, Hachimura inked a two-year, $28 million contract with their crosstown rival and is in line to start at power forward for the Clippers during the regular season.

Scores 14 points in preseason loss Hachimura scored 14 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT) while adding three rebounds, an assist and a steal across 19 minutes in Saturday's 114-106 preseason loss to the Raptors.

Impact Hachimura earned half of his scoring output from the charity stripe, but he still made his presence felt in a limited cameo, although no starter outside of Cam Christie played more than 20 minutes. Hachimura is expected to be the Clippers' starting power forward once the regular season starts, so it makes sense for the Clippers to monitor his workload during the preseason.

Nets 21 points in 15 minutes Hachimura racked up 21 points (8-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one block across 15 minutes in Sunday's 104-101 preseason win over the Warriors.

Impact Hachimura had the hot hand early, and despite logging just 15 minutes, his 21 points were a game-high. He's making a strong case to open the year as a starter with Brandon Ingram (Achilles) sidelined, and he could be a solid source of points and triples this season.

Impact Joining Hachimura in the first unit for Sunday's exhibition will be Darius Garland, Max Strus, Derrick Jones and Isaiah Jackson. Brandon Ingram (Achilles) won't be ready for opening night, so Hachimura could begin the season as a starter.

Impact Hachimura was nearly flawless in his return to international competition while committing zero turnovers. The 28-year-old will begin a new chapter in 2026-27 after signing a two-year, $28 million contract with the Clippers this offseason. Hachimura shot a career-best 44.3 percent from three-point range with the Lakers last season and should provide Los Angeles with another capable floor spacer, though the Clippers' depth on the wing could make consistent fantasy production difficult to come by. He'll likely compete with players such as Max Strus for minutes and isn't guaranteed a starting role heading into training camp.

Clippers add depth at forward The arrival of Max Strus creates another source of competition for perimeter and forward minutes in Los Angeles for Hachimura.

Impact Strus' ability to space the floor and function without the ball should make him an easy fit around the Clippers' primary creators, potentially costing Hachimura some opportunities depending on how the rotation shakes out. Hachimura can still carve out a significant role with his size and scoring ability, but the Clippers' depth makes a major fantasy breakout less likely.
