Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. This will be the third game in a row that Hachimura has missed due to right ankle soreness. Will Barton has been taking his place and looked great during Wednesday's contest. The expectation is that Barton will continue to play close to 30 minutes per game with Hachimura out. Fantasy managers should take a look at Barton as a possible streaming option in deeper leagues for Friday.

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The 24-year-old is a late addition to the injury report with right ankle soreness. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Wizards take the cautious approach and give Hachimura the night off. Will Barton would likely be asked to make a spot start, assuming Hachimura does sit. Barton has been off to a slow start and is more of a deep league option right now.

Washington Wizards power forward Rui Hachimura (ankle) has been cleared to suit up for Thursday's game against the Nets. Hachimura missed one outing after turning his ankle, with his return boosting Washington's second unit. Prior to the injury, Hachimura looked to be finding his offensive rhythm, particularly behind the arc, having shot 63.6% from there over his last four games. Deni Avdija stands to see a slight role reduction with Hachimura back in the mix.

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Hachimura is dealing with a right ankle sprain, so the Wizards have elected to sit him out for this one. Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill are likely to see increased playing time with Hachimura sidelined. Avdija is the better fantasy option between the two players. Avdija is worth looking at as a streaming option or possible DFS choice for Wednesday's slate.

Washington Wizards power forward Rui Hachimura (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Pistons after sustaining a sprained right ankle during the second quarter. Hachimura sustained the ailment after knocking down a corner three, his lone made field goal of the night. Prior to his exit, Hachimura notched 10 minutes off the bench and finished with six points, one steal, and one rebound. Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill stand to see elevated minutes in the frontcourt for both the remainder of the game and for as long as Hachimura is sidelined. His next chance to return to action comes Wednesday vs. Indiana.

Washington Wizards power forward Rui Hachimura is expected to play around 15-16 minutes during Tuesday's contest vs. the Thunder as he ramps back up to game speed. Hachimura played 14 minutes during his season debut Sunday, collecting six points (on eight shots) and three rebounds. Having averaged 11.4 field-goal attempts per game over each of the last two seasons, Hachimura has proven to be an aggressive offensive asset when given the opportunity, but his current role keeps him on the wrong side of fantasy relevance for the time being. Davis Bertans and Deni Avdija will have to contend with Hachimura's growing role in the frontcourt as well.

Washington Wizards power forward/center Rui Hachimura has tested out of the league's health and safety protocols, but he will be sidelined for Wednesday's game against Houston. Hachimura is yet to make his season debut, but a return is on the horizon for the third-year forward. Having delivered nearly identical numbers over his first two professional seasons, Hachimura has put up 13.7 points and 5.8 rebounds per outing. Washington figures to acclimate the No. 9 overall pick from the 2019 NBA Draft somewhat slowly, but he stands to be a sizable presence among the team's second unit when up to game speed.

Washington Wizards center Montrezl Harrell and power forward Rui Hachimura have been placed in the league's health and safety protocols, ruling them out indefinitely. The absence for Harrell on Tuesday against the Heat will be his first of the season, while Hachimura remains in search of his first game action in 2021-22. Harrell has scored in double figures in each of his last five outings, while also being on pace to set a new career high with 7.3 boards per game. Down two key contributors in the frontcourt, Washington is likely to rely heavily upon Daniel Gafford at the five, which elevates his DFS value for the time being.

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (personal) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting against Miami. The 23-year-old has yet to make an appearance this year. However, it appears he's nearing a return, although he will need to ramp up his conditioning. Nonetheless, if Hachimura doesn't play, Kyle Kuzma and Deni Avdija should continue to benefit the most, even more so ifBradley Beal remains out due to health and safety protocols.

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (conditioning) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has not played in a game this season, but will be in uniform on Sunday. That being said, it sounds like Hachimura is closing in on a return to the court. Until then, Kyle Kuzma and Deni Avdija will continue running the show at the forward spots. Both need to be rostered while Hachimura sits out.

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (personal) has not suited up for a game this season, but appears close to a return. Head coach Wes Unseld Jr. mentioned that Hachimura will travel with the team for their upcoming six-game road trip. The organization is hopeful to have Hachimura practicing and doing 5-on-5 by next week. Despite that, the Wizards don't currently have a timetable for his return. It's uncertain what kind of role he'd have once he does return. That being said, Hachimura is likely only going to have deep league value once he's back.

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (personal) won't travel with the team for their upcoming four-game road trip. The young forward has been increasing his activities lately, but it doesn't sound like he's ready to return. Now, fantasy managers will likely have to wait until December for a possible Hachimura sighting. He is worth stashing in deep leagues or for anyone with an open IR spot. Although, there doesn't appear to be a timetable set for his return.

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (personal) is expected to begin training with the team's G-League affiliate next week. The young forward has been sidelined all season due to an undisclosed personal reason. He has been doing individual workouts since early October. It sounds like Hachimura is getting closer to a return, but fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited. The organization hasn't announced a timetable for his return nor is it certain how he'll fit back into the rotation. He can remain on the waiver wire in most formats unless there is an open IR spot available.

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (personal) will miss Friday's game against the Pacers due to a personal issue. Hachimura, away from the team since the start of training camp, is without a clear timetable for return. Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Deni Avdija should all continue to see added minutes while Hachimura is absent. Kuzma, who is coming off a double-double in the team's season-opener, profiles as the best DFS play of the bunch.

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (personal) won't play during Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Houston Rockets. In fact, Hachimura hasn't reported to camp either as he continues to remain away from the team due to undisclosed personal issues. The 23-year-old averaged 13.8 points and 5.5 boards throughout his first two years in the league but has had problems staying healthy. Nonetheless, he still has a chance to make it back before the start of the 2021 campaign, although his fantasy stock should continue to drop until his status moving ahead is revealed. Until that happens, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is anticipated to start at the three spot during the regular season, while Kyle Kuzma will slide over to the power forward position. Corey Kispert, who's had been a standout over the last few weeks, is also in line to benefit.
