Rui Hachimura News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Rides red-hot hand to 32 points Hachimura finished with 32 points (11-14 FG, 7-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 136-124 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Hachimura entered Wednesday having gone just 3-for-13 from three-point range over his previous five games, but he caught fire against Memphis to drain a season-best seven triples on just eight attempts. In addition to his offensive impact, the power forward grabbed 10 boards to notch his second double-double of the season -- both of which have come in his past two contests. Hachimura featured more prominently with Anthony Davis (knee) out of action, and the former could continue to take on a more central role if Davis needs to miss additional time.

Rui Hachimura is bad luck for Memphis again as Lakers win Rui Hachimura, who helped oust Memphis from playoffs last season with three pointers, makes seven in Lakers' win Wednesday.

Steps up sans LeBron Hachimura amassed 16 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 128-124 double-overtime victory over Milwaukee.

Impact Hachimura's energy pounding the glass was critical for a Lakers team that ranks 13th in defensive rebounding and last in offensive rebounding league-wide. Coach Darvin Ham opted to roll with Hachimura over Taurean Prince during overtime, so he has the trust to perform and is capable of delivering production similar to Tuesday on nights when LeBron James (ankle) is inactive in the future.

MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in 30 minutes Hachimura ended with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 30 minutes during Sunday's 150-145 win over Indiana.

Impact Hachimura had scored in double digits in his previous seven games, so it's surprising that his streak ended in a game in which the Lakers produced 150 points. He's been terrific in March, posting averages of 16.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.6 three-pointers.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient in loss to Warriors Hachimura produced 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Saturday's 128-121 loss to Golden State.

Impact Hachimura only missed three of his 10 shots form the field. Still, his contributions on both ends of the court were not enough to lift the Lakers past Golden State in this pivotal matchup with potential playoff-seeding implications. Hachimura has scored in double digits in each of his last five appearances, averaging 18.0 points and shooting 60.9 percent from the field in that five-game stretch.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Posts 20-point outing Hachimura accumulated 20 points (9-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 120-107 loss to the Kings.

Impact Hachimura struck with precision Wednesday. His extremely efficient outing pushed his recent performance in 19.0 points on 59.3 percent shooting off 13.5 shots across his last four games. Cam Reddish (ankle) has yet to consistently re-enter the rotation, but that is a potential factor in Hachimura's role moving forward.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Excels with 29 points Hachimura ended Wednesday's 130-120 loss to the Kings with 29 points (13-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and two steals across 33 minutes.

Impact Hachmura is productive but unpredictable, as there's often no rhyme or reason for the wild differential in utilization. His return to the starting lineup in early February has reaped benefits for the Lakers, but Anthony Davis can be selfish in the frontcourt, allowing less opportunities for Hachimura to produce. He's still a viable fantasy candidate as long as he continues to start.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Solid contribution in victory Hachimura registered 17 points (8-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 116-112 win over the Clippers.

Impact Hachimura delivered as a scoring threat during Wednesday's win, but the team could use a little more help from him in secondary categories. It's hard to carve a significant role with LeBron James and Anthony Davis carrying the load, and while the 6-8 Gonzaga product pops for a decent number often enough, he's only averaging 3.8 rebounds per game. Activity off the glass is largely missing from Hachimura's game since joining the Lakers last season.

Puts up 17 in win Hachimura racked up 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Friday's 123-118 victory over San Antonio.

Impact Hachimura saw the fourth most minutes for Los Angeles behind D'Angelo Russell (35), LeBron James (34) and Austin Reaves (33). He has now started eight straight games and reached double-digit scoring figures four times. The big man is averaging 14.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 0.5 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.6 triples across 31.3 minutes during that span.

Dominates from deep in season high Hachimura chipped in 36 points (13-19 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 138-122 victory over the Jazz.

Impact Hachimura posted his best offensive performance of the season while picking up the gap left behind by LeBron James (ankle) and other Lakers players who were inactive, connecting on a half-dozen threes while ending as one of two players with 35 or more points. Hachimura surpassed the 30-point mark for the first time this season, setting season-best marks in both scoring and threes made in an impressive showcase.

Turns in 21 points Hachimura provided 21 points (9-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 37 minutes during Friday's 139-122 win over the Pelicans.

Impact The Lakers chose to stand pat at the trade deadline, confirming their faith in Hachimura, who represented one of the team's best moves last season. Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) is expected to miss at least three weeks, and while Hachimura already had a leg up on his teammate, he'll likely see a steady lift his minute total for the next few weeks. The Gonzaga product is proving to be a better fit for the starting lineup, as Taurean Prince has struggled with the first unit.

Nabs another start Hachimura will start Saturday's game against the Knicks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Hachimura will replace Taurean Prince in the first unit Saturday for his eighth start of the campaign. In his previous seven starts, Hachimura averaged 13.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Back in bench role Hachimura will come off the bench Thursday against the Bulls, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Hachimura drew a pair of starts Sunday against the Trail Blazers and Tuesday against the Clippers, but the Gonzaga product will retreat to the bench now that LeBron James and Taurean Prince are back at full strength. Hachimura is averaging 19.0 minutes in his last four contests as a reserve.

JANUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Joins starting lineup Hachimura is starting Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Impact Hachimura has come off the bench in his four appearances since returning from a calf injury, but he'll make his sixth start of the season Sunday with Taurean Prince (knee) sidelined. Over his previous five starts this year, Hachimura has averaged 14.2 points and 4.2 rebounds in 25.4 minutes per game.

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Delivers donut Friday Hachimura notched zero points (0-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes during Friday's 130-112 loss to the Nets.

Impact Hachimura failed to score in 15 minutes, highlighting why he should not be considered a viable long-term fantasy asset. He is currently averaging 11.2 points in 22.9 minutes per game, placing him well outside the top 200 in standard leagues. Other than limited value as a points streamer, Hachimura can be overlooked in all competitive formats.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to action with 17 points Hachimura registered 17 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 19 minutes during Saturday's 132-125 loss to Utah.

Impact Hachimura missed five games with a calf injury and was called into action due to a scratch from LeBron James (knee). The Lakers had difficulty containing Lauri Markkanen and John Collins, so they implemented Hachimura to even the height advantage after Cam Reddish (knee) exited the game. Hachimura and Jarred Vanderbilt are difficult players to project due to their spotty results this season, and although they will occasionally pop up with good totals, they are outside the realm of consideration in most fantasy formats.

JANUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on injury report Hachimura (calf) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against Utah, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Hachimura is cleared to suit up following a five-game absence due to a calf injury. With Cam Reddish (knee), D'Angelo Russell (knee) and LeBron James (ankle) all questionable, Hachimura could be looking at 20-plus minutes in his first game back.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Thursday Hachimura (calf) will not play in Thursday's game against the Suns, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNetreports.

Impact Lakers coach Darvin Ham said Hachimura continues to make progress, but the forward will miss his fifth straight game Thursday. From what it sounds like, Hachimura has a good chance of returning for Saturday's game against Utah.
