Rui Hachimura News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Nursing groin injury Hachimura is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers due to right groin soreness, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hachimura may have picked up the injury during the Lakers' win over the Jazz on Thursday, when he logged 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 33 minutes. If Hachimura is unable to play, then the Lakers could turn to Jake LaRavia or Jarred Vanderbilt to start in Saturday's LA duel.

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.

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.

Nails game-winning shot Hachimura racked up 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 123-120 win over the Raptors.

Impact Hachimura drilled a corner three off a pass from LeBron James to win the game at the buzzer. The former Washington Wizard has started all but one game this season for the Lakers, averaging a career high 13.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.9 assists, and 1.9 three-pointers in 33.2 minutes.

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.

Puts up 13 in win Hachimura ended Tuesday's 135-118 win over the Clippers with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three rebounds over 31 minutes.

Impact Hachimura has cooled off offensively as of recent, failing to eclipse the 15-point mark since Nov. 10, but he has shot the ball well all season, averaging 14.9 points and 1.8 threes on a blistering 56.8 percent from the field and 48.3 percent from three. The Lakers have shown they will call on him to produce when their top offensive playmakers are unavailable, but even with everyone healthy Hachimura still has standalone fantasy value, and should be rostered in most formats.
