Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Strikes for 21 in Thursday's win
Hachimura notched 21 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 win over Dallas.
Making his fourth straight start, Hachimura produced his best scoring effort since Jan. 26, when he dropped 23 points in Chicago. The 28-year-old forward heads into the All-Star break averaging 14.3 points, 3.3 boards, 2.3 threes, 1.3 assists and 0.8 steals during his starting stint, but he'll likely return to the bench when starters Deandre Ayton (knee) and Luka Doncic are cleared to get back on the court.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Gets hot from downtown
Hachimura totaled 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt), one rebound and one block across 28 minutes during Saturday's 105-99 victory over Golden State.
Hachimura was a big part of the Lakers offense in a win over Golden State. Four made threes ties a season high for Hachimura, who got the starting nod in the absence of Luka Doncic, who's nursing a hamstring injury. Los Angeles has three more games before the All-Star break.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Starting Saturday
Hachimura is part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Hachimura will step into the first unit for the first time in 13 appearances, filling in for the injured Luka Doncic (hamstring). In his last 10 games, Hachimura is averaging 11.2 points and 3.6 rebounds across 25.9 minutes. Marcus Smart, LeBron James, Jake LaRavia and Jaxson Hayes make up the rest of the starting lineup Saturday.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Chips in 11 points off bench
Hachimura amassed 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes during Sunday's 112-100 loss to the Knicks.
After beginning the season as a full-time starter, Hachimura is falling into a consistent reserve role. The veteran forward's playing time could take another hit once Austin Reaves (calf) rejoins the lineup as well. Over his last seven contests (no starts), Hachimura has averaged 11.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 25.3 minutes per game.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Paces bench in victory
Hachimura totaled 23 points (9-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Monday's 129-118 victory over the Bulls.
Hachimura caught fire in this one and led the second unit in scoring, reaching the 20-point mark for the fourth time through 35 regular-season games. He also tied his season-high mark in triples and has knocked down multiple three-pointers in three straight games. Additionally, the 27-year-old forward chipped in at least one steal and one block for the second time in his last six appearances.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Contributes 10 points from bench
Hachimura ended Sunday's 110-93 victory over Toronto with 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt) in 21 minutes.
Hachimura's fantasy value has taken a hit following his seven-game injury absence, as he's been unable to reclaim his spot in the starting lineup after being a fixture with the first unit for the majority of the season. Although his 21 minutes marked his highest minute total since his return, it appears that coach JJ Redick is opting for Jake LaRavia over Hachimura right now. LaRavia's recent totals have been uninspiring, so Hachimura's progress will be worth monitoring over the next couple of weeks.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Capped at 18 minutes in return
Hachimura (calf) recorded seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and two rebounds in 18 minutes Tuesday in the Lakers' 141-116 win over the Hawks.
After recovering from a right calf strain, Hachimura took the floor for the first time since Dec. 28, but he operated with a significant minutes restriction and was deployed as a bench player for the first time all season. Jake LaRavia is likely to eventually move back to the second unit to clear a spot in the starting five for Hachimura, but the 27-year-old could need multiple games to get fully reconditioned before the Lakers opt to shake up the lineup.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Will be under restriction Tuesday
Lakers head coach JJ Redick said that Hachimura (calf) will play Tuesday against the Hawks but will have a "severe minutes restriction," Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
After missing six straight games due to a right calf strain, Hachimura was cleared to play Monday against the Kings, but the Lakers ultimately decided to stay away from the veteran forward in the 124-112 loss so that he could be fresher for the second leg of the back-to-back set. Hachimura still won't be asked to reclaim his normal role coming off the injury, as the Lakers plan to use him off the bench and monitor his minutes Tuesday. Once he gets fully ramped up over the course of a few games, Hachimura is likely to eventually unseat Jake LaRavia on the top unit.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Not starting in return
Hachimura will be deployed off the bench Monday against the Kings, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Hachimura will suit up for the first time since Dec. 28 after putting a calf injury behind him, and the Lakers will elect to bring him off the bench Monday in an effort to ease him back into action. Coach JJ Redick noted that Hachimura will be on a minutes restriction but failed to provide a range of playing time. Jake LaRavia will remain in the starting five while Hachimura gets back up to speed.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Off injury report for Monday
Hachimura (calf) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Kings, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
Hachimura is set to return from a six-game absence due to a right calf strain. However, head coach JJ Redick said Saturday that the 27-year-old forward will be on a minutes restriction and may come off the bench Monday, according to Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com. With Hachimura back in the lineup, fewer minutes will be available for the likes of Dalton Knecht, Jake LaRavia and Jarred Vanderbilt.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Trending toward playing Monday
Head coach JJ Redick said Hachimura (calf) was a full participant in Sunday's practice and is trending toward playing against the Kings on Monday, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
The 27-year-old forward has missed the Lakers' last six games due to a right calf strain but appears to be closing in on a return to action. However, Redick relayed that Hachimura will be on a minutes restriction and may come off the bench if he's cleared to play Monday. Still, his return would leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Dalton Knecht, Jake LaRavia and Jarred Vanderbilt. The Lakers are expected to provide an update on Hachimura's status by Sunday night.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Could return Monday
Head coach JJ Redick said Friday that he has "a lot of optimism" that Hachimura (calf) will be cleared to play Monday against the Kings, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.coml reports.
Hachimura appears to be in the final stages of his recovery from a right calf strain, which has prevented him from playing since Dec. 28 and will keep him out of a sixth consecutive game Friday versus the Bucks. He could operate under a minutes restriction upon his return, but his availability in any capacity would leave less playing time available for the likes of Jake LaRavia and Jarred Vanderbilt and could result in Dalton Knecht moving out of the rotation.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Out again Friday
Hachimura (calf) will not play Friday against the Bucks.
Hachimura was able to get some practice reps in the G League on Wednesday, but he was unable to shake his questionable tag for this one. This will be his sixth straight game on the shelf, but it sounds like he'll have a good chance of returning Monday against the Kings.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Questionable for Friday
Hachimura (calf) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Bucks.
Hachimura was a partial participant in Wednesday's practice with the Lakers' G League affiliate in South Bay, so he's moving in the right direction. We'll have a better idea on Hachimura's status based on his activity level at Friday's shootaround, but if he is able to get back out there, Dalton Knecht and Jake LaRavia's minutes would take a hit.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Practices in G League on Wednesday
Hachimura (calf) practiced with the South Bay Lakers of the G League on Wednesday.
Hachimura is still recovering from a right calf strain that has held him out for the last five games, but his return to basketball activities is encouraging, and he may take the court soon. He can be considered questionable to suit up Friday against Milwaukee.
