Available Thursday Hachimura (ankle) will play Thursday against the Nets, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

The 24-year-old has averaged 9.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 21.0 minutes over his past five games.

Won't play Wednesday Hachimura (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Pacers.

Impact Hachimura exited Monday's win over the Pistons with a right ankle sprain and was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday. However, after being limited during the team's morning shootaround, he's officially been ruled out. In his absence, Deni Avdija, Anthony Gill and Thomas Bryant are all candidates for increased roles.

Limited in shootaround Hachimura (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game at Indiana, was a limited participant in shootaround, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Washington may not provide another update on Hachimura's status until closer to the 7:30 p.m. ET opening tip, but based on his activity in shootaround, the third-year forward could be trending toward an absence. If that's the case, Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill could take on elevated roles as the top forwards available off the bench.

Impact Hachimura exited Monday's game against the Pistons due to an ankle sprain, and he'll have a chance to return in the Wizards' final two games before the All-Star break. While his workload has been significantly reduced compared to his first two seasons, he's shooting a career-high 43.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Goes for 13 off bench Hachimura accumulated 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and three steals across 22 minutes during Saturday's 123-110 loss to Sacramento.

Impact Hachimura missed the first few months of the season but has been ramping up his activity of late and is gaining a bigger role, playing more than 20 minutes in each of his last four appearances. The fact that he's scored in double digits in each of his last three contests suggests his fantasy upside will only grow if he keeps seeing more minutes with the second unit.

Plays season-high 27 minutes Hachimura chipped in 11 points (4-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 121-100 loss to the Heat.

Impact Hachimura wasn't anything to write home about, but the 23-year-old is taking baby steps in reacclimatizing to a role in Washington's rotation. Although it may feel long ago, Hachimura averaged 13.8 points on a 47.8 percent clip across 57 games last season. Hachimura's ramping up is worth monitoring, as he remains a pedigree prospect.

Strong output off bench Hachimura totaled 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and eight rebounds in 20 minutes during Friday's 109-105 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Hachimura has been playing off the bench this season but made the most of his minutes in this one. Despite the fact that he needed 12 shots just to score 11 points, he ended just two boards away from putting up a double-double off the bench and managed to leave his mark on both ends of the court. Hachimura is averaging just 8.1 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, but the fact that he's scored 10-plus points while grabbing five or more boards in each of his last three appearances is certainly encouraging.
