Rui Hachimura News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Pops for 19 in Sunday's loss Hachimura recorded 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes during Sunday's 116-102 loss to the Clippers.

Impact The 26-year-old forward put together a solid performance, but sustained success continues to elude Hachimura. He's scored in double digits in three straight games, but his longest such streak of the season is only five contests. Over eight appearances in January, Hachimura is averaging 12.4 points, 4.8 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.4 threes while shooting 55.4 percent from the floor, and his usage isn't likely to increase as long as LeBron James and Anthony Davis remain healthy and the focal points of the Lakers' offense.

Impact With Anthony Davis nursing an ankle injury in the first game of a back-to-back for the Lakers, Hachimura had an opportunity to prove his worth against the lowly Blazers.

Impact It was the first time this season Hachimura produced multiple steals and blocks in the same game, and the 26-year-old forward fell one board shy of his second double-double.

Impact Hachimura is slowly working his way back into the groove, although he 's yet to post numbers that reflect results prior to his four-game absence.

Impact Hachimura's two games since his return have fallen short of expectations.

Impact In his return from a five-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, Hachimura took back his spot in the starting five, with rookie Dalton Knecht moving to the bench as a result. Though Knecht (28 minutes) still outpaced him in playing time, the blowout nature of the game may have played a factor in Hachimura's lower minutes total. Prior to Saturday, Hachimura had been averaging 33.9 minutes per game over his 10 appearances on the season, so expect his playing time to pick up a bit as he becomes further removed from the ankle sprain.
