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.

Downgraded to out Hachimura (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hachimura was initially listed as questionable due to right groin soreness, but he'll wind up missing the contest. As a result, Jake LaRavia, Jarred Vanderbilt and Dalton Knecht could see an uptick in playing time. Hachimura's next chance to play will come Tuesday at Phoenix.

Rui Hachimura has the Lakers locked in a brutal no-win scenario The Los Angeles Lakers need Hachimura's skill set, but they also need more than just what Rui can bring.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • LAKESHOWLIFE.COM

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.

Rui Hachimura's future isn't half as simple as Lakers fans wish it to be Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura is becoming a fan favorite, but his future isn't decided quite yet.

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • LAKESHOWLIFE.COM

Remains locked in from deep Hachimura notched 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist across 36 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Hachimura wasn't overly impressive in the scoring column Sunday, but he drilled three triples for a second straight matchup and is now 8-for-17 from downtown over his last three appearances. The Gonzaga product has been decent for the Lakers of late outside of a zero-point showing Dec. 1 against Phoenix, averaging 11.7 points and 3.8 rebounds in his last six games.
