    Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Quiet again Friday

    Rui Hachimura finished Friday's 131-125 victory over Toronto with nine points (3-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes.This was Hachimura's second straight game scoring in single digits. While it is frustrating, the positive is that his playing time has remained relatively consistent no matter his statistical output. He has exceeded 30 minutes in all but one game thus far, averaging 14.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers. Despite his recent struggles, Hachimura should continue to serve as a key piece for the Los Angeles Lakers, making him a viable target.

    Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Flirts with double-double in win

    Rui Hachimura ended Saturday's 131-127 victory over Sacramento with 18 points (5-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes.Hachimura was a great late-round option for fantasy managers, and he is paying huge dividends in LA's starting lineup. Although it's early in the season, he's blowing apart averages in previous seasons, sporting dramatic increases in points and rebounds. Even though he's far from the first option on a team with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, Hachimura has been afforded at least 12 shots in all three of the team's games to open the season.

Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) will return to action soon, but it's unlikely coach JJ Redick will adjust Hachimura's usage, especially at his current pace.

    Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Healthy to start training camp

    General manager Rob Pelinka said Wednesday that Rui Hachimura is medically cleared for the start of training camp, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.This doesn't come as a surprise, as Hachimura was healthy at the end of last season and starred for Japan during the Paris Olympics. However, he did deal with multiple injuries to begin the 2023-24 campaign, missing 14 of the first 39 games. When healthy, Hachimura is a dynamic scorer who can fill up the box score quickly, and he's expected to open the 2024-25 campaign as a starter in the Los Angeles Lakers' frontcourt next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis, per Evan Sidery of Forbes.com.
