Fri Jan 1921:05Rui Hachimura Will Remain Under A Minutes Watch
According to Lakers head coach Darvin Ham, forward Rui Hachimura (calf) will remain on a minutes restriction on Friday night versus the Nets. The former Wizard missed five games to begin 2024 but has been in uniform for the Lakers' last three contests. While his production hasn't been terrible, he's logged fewer than 22 minutes in each game since returning. That said, his minutes have steadily increased, so he could see some more work versus Brooklyn. However, Hachimura has a way to go before becoming a must-start fantasy option in any format.

Sat Jan 1320:34Rui Hachimura Will Be Under Minutes Limit
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) will play during Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Hachimura will make his return to the court after missing multiple games due to a calf issue. Unsurprisingly, Hachimura will be under a minutes limit during his first game back in the rotation. At the moment, it's unclear if Hachimura is going to start or come off the bench during this game. Regardless, Hachimura is unlikely to have much streaming appeal without his full workload.

Thu Jan 1121:00Rui Hachimura Won't Play On Thursday
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This marks the fifth game in a row that Hachimura has missed due to a left calf strain. His absence will mean that Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Wood will absorb extra playing time. It sounds like Hachimura has been making good progress and is hopeful to play on Saturday. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update.

Tue Jan 922:03Rui Hachimura Won't Play On Tuesday
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This marks the fourth game in a row that Hachimura has missed due to a left calf strain. It's worth noting that head coach Darvin Ham said Hachimura had a good day at practice on Monday. It sounds like Hachimura is still day-to-day, so possibly he suits up on Thursday. Until then, Christian Wood and Jarred Vanderbilt will see an extended look in the rotation.

Mon Jan 821:33Rui Hachimura Doubtful For Tuesday
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The expectation is that Hachimura will miss his fourth straight game after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain last week. The Lakers will likely continue to give more minutes to Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Wood in the absence of Hachimura. Neither player has great streaming value, but Wood has better upside between the two big men.

Sat Jan 623:14Rui Hachimura Still Out On Sunday
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) remains out on Sunday against the Clippers. He's dealing with a calf strain, an injury he picked up during the New Year's Eve meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. The Lakers have struggled since winning the inaugural NBA Cup, and it hasn't helped the team has been without D'Angelo Russell (tailbone). Nevertheless, it will remain business as usual for Los Angeles on Sunday, with Anthony Davis (ankle) and LeBron James (ankle) leading the way offensively, assuming they play. Austin Reaves should also stay more involved, with the 25-year-old nearly amassing a triple-double in Friday's loss to Memphis. Lastly, Christian Wood could continue to see a few extra minutes from off the bench, although he's nowhere close to being the player he used to be.

Wed Jan 320:43Rui Hachimura Avoids Serious Injury
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) is not expected to miss much time after suffering an injury during Sunday's game. It was revealed that Hachimura suffered a Grade 1 calf strain during Sunday's contest. The Lakers are currently listing Hachimura as day-to-day, which is good news for fantasy managers. Hachimura won't play on Wednesday, but it doesn't sound like he's going to miss significant time. Cam Reddish (groin) should start in his place and have increased fantasy value until Hachimura gets back on the court.

Thu Dec 21 202321:00Rui Hachimura Gets Starting Nod
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura will move into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This move was expected with forward LeBron James (ankle) ruled out for this game. Hachimura will get a boost in value here, but has a tough matchup against Minnesota. Despite that, Hachimura is worth streaming because he'll get an extended look in the rotation. D'Angelo Russell, Cam Reddish, Taurean Prince and Anthony Davis will start alongside Hachimura on Thursday.

Fri Dec 15 202310:09Rui Hachimura Available To Play Against Spurs
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (nose) has been listed as available for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The 25-year-old was able to play in their previous matchup against the Spurs on Wednesday and even moved into the starting lineup since LeBron James (calf) was out. He may remain in the starting lineup if Anthony Davis (hip) is unable to play, but either way, Hachimura should see around 20 minutes on the floor. In fantasy, Hachimura has been more valuable in deeper leagues and even if he does remain in the starting five, that shouldn't change.

Mon Dec 4 202319:05Rui Hachimura May Suit Up On Tuesday
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (nose) said to reporters on Monday that he thinks he's going to play on Tuesday in the team's in-season tournament game. Hachimura has missed the last five consecutive games after he underwent a procedure to fix a nasal fracture. The 25-year-old played an important reserve role in the playoffs for the Lakers last season, so getting him back for the push to the in-season tournament championship would be big. He doesn't warrant much attention in fantasy leagues, however, unless it's a very deep league.

Fri Nov 24 202316:57Rui Hachimura Set To Miss At Least One Week
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (nose) underwent a procedure to fix a nasal fracture, as reported by Jovan Buha of The Athletic. He suffered the fracture during the game against the Mavericks on Wednesday and he will be re-evaluated in one week. While he's out, Christian Wood will receive a boost from the bench, and if Cam Reddish (groin) can get back on the court, he'll also see some added opportunities. Those would be the main two to monitor for streaming purposes, while Jaxson Hayes would be more of a long shot.

Tue Nov 7 202321:50Rui Hachimura Listed As Probable For Wednesday
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (concussion) is listed as probable heading into Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. The 25-year-old remains in concussion protocol ahead of this game, but there's still a chance that he's cleared in time to play. He'd be a candidate to see increased playing time with Anthony Davis (groin) currently listed as questionable for this game. Hachimura would be a more appealing streaming choice if he's given additional playing time. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to tip-off on Wednesday.

Tue Nov 7 202309:04Rui Hachimura Considered Day-To-Day
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (concussion) is considered day-to-day by the team. The Japanese ace has landed in concussion protocol, and he's missed four straight games. However, it seems like his return isn't far away anymore. Hachimura looked great off the bench in his last game, amassing 11 points and six rebounds in 17 minutes against the Kings. He has averaged 8.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 14.7 minutes overall. Once he's back healthy, Hachimura could give the 3-4 Lakers quality minutes off the pine. His next chance to return comes on Wednesday versus Houston, which should be a great matchup for the L.A.'s second unit, as the Rockets allow a league-high 45.0 bench points per game.

Sun Nov 5 202322:49Rui Hachimura Remains In Concussion Protocols
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (concussion) has missed the last three games due to a concussion and will miss a fourth as he remains in the concussion protocols. The 25-year-old is still working to be cleared and get back to practice, so fantasy managers will have to wait a bit longer if they don't drop him altogether. While Hachimura watches from the sidelines, Christian Wood and Jaxson Hayes should see more opportunities off of the bench while Cam Reddish should get some more action as well.

Sat Nov 4 202309:47Rui Hachimura Remains Out Saturday
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (concussion) will miss a third straight game Saturday versus Orlando. He has landed in concussion protocol after previously being listed on the injury report with a left eye contusion. The 25-year-old has contributed 8.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 14.7 minutes off the Lakers bench early in the year. Hachimura's absence has opened the door for Christian Wood to log extra minutes, and Lakers head coach Darvin Ham showed in Wednesday's matchup against the Clippers that he isn't afraid to run big lineups, meaning Jaxson Hayes has also been benefiting. However, Wood is clearly the better fantasy option, and he heads into Saturday's action following an impressive double-double performance in the Battle of Los Angeles.

Wed Nov 1 202319:01Rui Hachimura, Gabe Vincent Both Ruled Out
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (concussion) and guard Gabe Vincent (knee) are not going to play on Wednesday versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Hachimura is being evaluated for a concussion after getting listed with a left eye contusion that forced him to sit out Monday's game versus the Orlando Magic, and Vincent's left knee soreness will render him out for the first time so far this year. Neither of which have brought much to the table in fantasy as role players, but their voids free up extra playing time for Christian Wood, who played a season-high 26 minutes in his last time out, and Cam Reddish (foot), who is good to go on Wednesday. Expect D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves to take on even more playmaking duties in this Hallway Series game.

Tue Oct 31 202321:32Rui Hachimura Considered Questionable For Wednesday
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (eye) is currently listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Hachimura is in danger of missing his second straight game after getting poked in the eye on Sunday. His absence has given Christian Wood more run in the rotation. The big man saw 27 minutes during the win over the Orlando Magic. Fantasy managers looking for a streaming option might want to consider Wood, assuming Hachimura is ruled out for another game.

Mon Oct 30 202321:40Rui Hachimura Downgraded To Out
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (eye) has been downgraded to out for Monday's upcoming matchup versus the Orlando Magic. Hachimura was initially probable for this contest, but was later downgraded to doubtful. Now, Hachimura has been ruled out with a left eye contusion. Christian Wood figures to get more playing time with Hachimura unavailable. He could get 20-plus minutes without Hachimura in the mix which might make Wood worth a look as a streaming option.

Mon Oct 30 202319:01Rui Hachimura Downgraded To Doubtful On Monday
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (eye) is suffering from a left eye contusion and has been downgraded to doubtful for the team's contest against the Orlando Magic on Monday night. This shouldn't affect the Lakers' rotation all that much since Hachimura hasn't played more than 17 minutes in any of the team's first three games. While he's sidelined, Christian Wood and Taurean Prince should get a lot of playing time since Jarred Vanderbilt is also out.

Fri Oct 6 202313:14Rui Hachimura Wants To Attack The Rim More This Season
Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura saw a dip in opportunities when he was traded from the Wizards to the Lakers, but seems to be in a prime position to see more minutes. Improvements need to be made to constitute more minutes and Hachimura talked about one of the improvements he's trying to put into action. He said, "I know I've got mid-range, but I'm trying to be more aggressive on the rim. I've been working out a lot." So for those fantasy managers in deeper category leagues, a higher efficiency may be on the way if he's trying to work his way into high-percentage shots. The 25-year-old will likely expand on the role he saw in last year's playoffs which also raises his stock coming into this year.
