Rui Hachimura News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

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.

Drops dud offensively Hachimura ended Sunday's 116-114 victory over Phoenix with three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals over 31 minutes.

Impact Outside of a scoreless outing against the Suns on Dec. 1, this was Hachimura's worst offensive showing of the season. He somewhat salvaged his production by tying his season highs in rebounds and steals. However, with Austin Reaves (calf) sidelined for at least a week, Hachimura will need to bounce back defensively.

Posts 14 points in victory Hachimura notched 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt) and two rebounds across 34 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Gabe Vincent slipped into the Lineup but was ineffective as LeBron James' (foot) replacement. Hachimura's production has been helpful during James' absences, and although he's averaging an eight-point drop in production over last season, his rebounding average (8.3 per game) is at a five-year high. His acumen off the glass is a great aid for those needing rebounds n category leagues.
