Impact Hachimura was extremely efficient Wednesday and missed just one shot from the field and one from the charity stripe en route to his second-best scoring effort of the campaign. Even though Hachimura started the season on a strong note he had been cooling off lately. He's averaging 9.8 points and 5.0 rebounds across 33.8 minutes per game in five November contests.

Doubtful for Wednesday Hachimura (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Memphis, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hachimura was a very late addition to the injury report and is expected to be held out Wednesday evening.

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 Lakers, making him a viable target.
