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.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Out at least two more games
Hachimura (calf) has been ruled out for the Lakers' upcoming two-game road trip, which begins Tuesday at New Orleans, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Hachimura has already missed three games due to a right calf injury, and he's guaranteed to miss at least two more games. If he's ready to return when the Lakers return from the road trip, he could play Friday against Milwaukee. Hachimura's absence has opened up more opportunities for Jake LaRavia and Dalton Knecht.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Missing two-game set vs. Memphis
Hachimura (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons and will also miss the Lakers' two-game set against the Grizzlies on Friday and Sunday, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Head coach JJ Redick relayed to reporters Tuesday that the Lakers are aiming to have Hachimura available early next week, which would put him on track to return against the Pelicans on Tuesday, Jan. 6. The Lakers will likely turn to Dalton Knecht, Jake LaRavia, Nick Smith and Jarred Vanderbilt to help fill the void left by Hachimura and Austin Reaves (calf).

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Won't play vs. Detroit
Hachimura has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to right calf soreness.
Hachimura had just returned from a groin injury, so it's unclear as to when the calf injury popped up. Look for Jake LaRavia and Dalton Knecht to be much more involved Tuesday in Hachimura's absence.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Cleared to play Thursday
Hachimura (groin) is available for Thursday's game against the Rockets, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
As expected, the forward will be good to go for Christmas Day. This month, Hachimura is averaging 9.4 points and 4.0 rebounds in 31.1 minutes.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Likely to play Christmas Day
Hachimura (groin) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Rockets, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Hachimura has missed the Lakers' last two games due to a groin injury. He's progressing toward returning Christmas Day, and if he's given the green light to play, Jake LaRavia and Nick Smith would be the top candidates to exit the Lakers' starting lineup. Hachimura is averaging 13.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.9 threes over 32.9 minutes per game this season.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Out again Tuesday
Hachimura (groin) will remain on the inactive list for Tuesday's game in Phoenix, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
Per Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com, head coach JJ Redick said Saturday that he was hopeful Hachimura would be able to make it back to the court in 3-5 days, so while Hachimura will miss his second straight game Tuesday, it sounds like there's a chance he could get back out there for Thursday's game against the Rockets. Jake LaRavia, Jarred Vanderbilt and Dalton Knecht are candidates to pick up the slack while Hachimura is out.
