Rui Hachimura Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) will rejoin the action Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. The Lakers will have the Japanese forward back in the lineup after he missed two games due to right calf injury management. Hachimura's productivity and playing time have noticeably declined since the All-Star break, as he's averaged 8.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 24.7 minutes per game. Jake LaRavia has seen more time on the floor in the last couple of games and will likely have a lighter workload with Hachimura back in the fold.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (illness) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Kings after missing two contests. The 28-year-old is averaging 9.0 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.4 triples over his last five games in 27.0 minutes and should slide back into a steady rotation role. If LeBron James (foot) sits, Hachimura could push past 26 minutes and gain streaming appeal in points leagues. Jake LaRavia and Jarred Vanderbilt would see slightly reduced upside with Hachimura active.

According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com, Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (illness) won't suit up against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday due to an illness. The 28-year-old is averaging 11.7 points and 3.4 rebounds in 29.5 minutes per contest across 47 outings this season. With Hachimura on the shelf, a sizable amount of minutes could be available for players like Luke Kennard or Jack LaRavia. Luke Kennard has had most success recently draining at least one three-pointer in eight of his last nine appearances.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) will have his playing time restricted to 18 minutes on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports. On Monday against the Sacramento Kings, Hachimura was cleared to make his first appearance of the new year, but he didn't see any action off the Lakers' bench. It looks to be a different story on Tuesday as the Lakers complete a back-to-back. However, fantasy managers won't get full value from Hachimura, whose season average for minutes stands at 32.5 per game.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) is trending toward a return Monday against Sacramento, with head coach JJ Redick expressing optimism Friday. Hachimura has not played since Dec. 28 and could face a minutes restriction initially. His return carries clear fantasy ripple effects. Jake LaRavia, who thrived during the absence, averaged 15.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.0 steals, and 2.5 three-pointers in 36.2 minutes over the last six games, delivering third-round nine-category value. That production likely regresses with Hachimura back, pushing LaRavia toward streamer status.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) will miss a sixth consecutive game on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Although Hachimura was first listed as questionable and seemed close to returning, his status has now been downgraded to out. Jake LaRavia has offered good fantasy value as Hachimura's replacement in the starting lineup. The Wake Forest product has averaged 15.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.0 steals over the past five games.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Memphis and will also miss Sunday, with a target return early next week, per coach JJ Redick. His continued absence keeps the Lakers' forward rotation thin and elevates Jake LaRavia's short-term fantasy profile. Across his 10 starts this season, LaRavia has averaged 10.5 points on 43.7 percent shooting, 1.0 three-pointer, 5.7 rebounds, 1.9 steals, and 0.5 blocks in 32.5 minutes, offering multi-category deep-league value. Jarred Vanderbilt and Nick Smith Jr. remain secondary options, while usage stays concentrated with Luka Doncic and LeBron James.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) won't suit up for Tuesday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. He recently dealt with a groin issue, missing two games, and the Japanese forward is now bothered by a sore right calf. On Monday, Hachimura couldn't practice, and Tuesday's absence may not be his only one of the week. It appears likely that Jake LaRavia will start in Hachimura's place on Tuesday night. In previous starts this season, the Wake Forest product has notched 10.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.7 steals per game. Jarred Vanderbilt and Dalton Knecht could also see extra action in the rotation.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (groin) will play on Thursday against the Rockets after missing the last two games. The 27-year-old has played as well as expected throughout the 2025 campaign, averaging 13.3 points and 3.8 rebounds while shooting 45.6% from behind the arc. Although Hachimura should see at least 30 minutes of action, he may have a tough time remaining as productive, considering LeBron James, Austin Reaves, Deandre Ayton, and Luka Doncic (leg) are available. It also doesn't help that the Rockets have been one of the most impactful teams on the defensive side of the ball. At any rate, Hachumira's return should mean Jake LaRavia, coming off a 12-point, five-rebound, two-steal, two-block effort, will presumably head back to the bench.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (groin) is set to end a two-game absence on Thursday, as the team has listed him as probable for a matchup against the Houston Rockets. The Japanese forward has missed back-to-back games for groin injury management purposes. Jake LaRavia has been in the starting unit during Hachimura's absence and will likely land back on the bench against Houston, which would negatively impact his fantasy value. Hachimura has been quiet in December, averaging only 9.4 points, a significant drop-off from his season average of 13.3 points per game. Getting buckets won't be easy on Christmas Day either, as Houston has a top-10 defense.
