Productive in limited minutes Hachimura accumulated 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and three steals over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 121-120 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Hachimura scored eight of his 14 points in nine second-quarter minutes. He managed to see just six minutes of playing time in the second half and played less than 20 minutes in a game for the fourth time in 15 contests. The 24-year-old is averaging 11.5 points and 4.6 rebounds in 23.1 minutes so far this year.

Season-high 23 points Hachimura contributed 23 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and eight rebounds over 26 minutes during Thursday's 113-105 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Hachimura played a huge role off the bench on Thursday night, going 4-of-5 from the field with 12 first-half points while also knocking down all three of his free-throw attempts. He kept it rolling after halftime, hitting four of six shots in the third quarter for nine points, with three of those field goals coming off assists from Kyle Kuzma as the Wizards fought back and took the lead. The 23 points were a season high for Hachimura after tying his previous season high with 16 points in Dallas' last contest.

Turns in solid scoring night Hachimura accumulated 15 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and three rebounds over 22 minutes during Sunday's 103-97 loss to Memphis.

Impact Hachimura managed just two points and two boards in his team's last matchup Friday against the Nets, but he responded to that performance in a positive way Sunday. He worked with efficiency on the offensive end, and he also knocked down his first triple since Oct. 30 in Boston. Hachimura has now scored in double figures in eight of his first 10 games of the 2022-23 campaign.

Records double-double Wednesday Hachimura provided 10 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists and one block over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 121-111 win over the 76ers.

Impact Hachimura struggled with his shooting Wednesday, making just one of his nine shot attempts from three feet away or farther. It was his first double-double of the season. After making 44.7 percent of his three-point tries last season, he's just 4-for-16 in the early going this year.

Near double-double in loss Hachimura had 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block across 22 minutes during Sunday's 112-94 loss to Boston.

Impact Hachimura scored nine of his 13 points in the second quarter, going 4-for-5 from the field and hauling in three rebounds. He's come off the bench in all six contests this season and has scored at least 10 points in five straight. His nine rebounds and three assists were both his best marks of the year.

Strong output off bench Hachimura registered 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes during Sunday's 117-107 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact For the first time in three games this season, Hachimura managed to outplay Kyle Kuzma and posted better numbers despite coming off the bench. The four-year pro has now scored in double digits in each of his last two contests while also showing efficiency -- he has made 50 percent of his shots from the field and from three-point range thus far.

Looks sharp in preseason finale Hachimura boomed for 20 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds and two assists during the Wizards' 105-89 loss to the Knicks on Friday.

Impact Hachimura co-led the Wizards with 30 minutes played, while logging a plus-14 in the box score despite the ugly outcome for Washington. The 24-year-old looked spry, completing multiple acrobatic finishes en route to his best scoring performance of the preseason. He'll look to carry momentum into Washington's season opener against Indiana on Wednesday.

Scores 15 points in win Monday Hachimura totaled 15 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and three rebounds in 25 minutes during Monday's win over Charlotte.

Impact Hachimura came off the bench in the victory, a role he is likely to maintain, at least to begin the season. While he can be a steady source of points, he offers very little in across-the-board production. Until he can add some juice to his game, he should be considered a final-round option for anyone needing points.

Impact After nearly posting a double-double in the preseason opener, Hachimura made it happen Sunday. He's averaging 12 points and 9.5 rebounds in 25.5 minutes in two preseason games while going 9-for-19 from the field. The 24-year-old missed the first 39 games of last season and came off the bench in 29 contests before starting the final 13 games of the season. He averaged 14.2 points and 5.1 rebounds as a starter but will have to compete against Kyle Kuzma, Deni Avdija and Will Barton for minutes on the wing this year.

Posts near double-double Hachimura tallied 13 points (5-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-7 FT), nine rebounds and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's preseason matchup with the Warriors in Japan.

Impact Hachimura only played 42 games last season for the Wizards, so this is a crucial season to prove he is part of the team's long-term plans. The 6-foot-8 forward led the team in scoring and rebounding. However, he will have to improve on his outside shooting if he wants to overtake Kyle Kuzma in the starting lineup.

Impact Hachimura reached 21 points for the second straight game including the fifth time in his last eight. The third-year forward has grabbed more than seven rebounds just twice this season but is shooting a career-best 49.2 percent from the field and 45.4 percent from deep.
