Cleared to play Thursday Hachimura (groin) is available for Thursday's game against the Rockets, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Impact As expected, the forward will be good to go for Christmas Day. This month, Hachimura is averaging 9.4 points and 4.0 rebounds in 31.1 minutes.

Likely to play Christmas Day Hachimura (groin) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Rockets, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Hachimura has missed the Lakers' last two games due to a groin injury. He's progressing toward returning Christmas Day, and if he's given the green light to play, then Jake LaRavia and Nick Smith would be the top candidates to exit the Lakers' starting lineup. Hachimura is averaging 13.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.9 threes over 32.9 minutes per game this season.

Out again Tuesday Hachimura (groin) will remain on the inactive list for Tuesday's game in Phoenix, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Impact Per Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com, head coach JJ Redick said Saturday that he was hopeful Hachimura would be able to make it back to the court in 3-5 days, so while Hachimura will miss his second straight game Tuesday, it sounds like there's a chance he could get back out there for Thursday's game against the Rockets. Jake LaRavia, Jarred Vanderbilt and Dalton Knecht will pick up the slack while Hachimura is out.
