Rui Hachimura Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) will miss Saturday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. He will exit the lineup following a busy night on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Hachimura is on the injury report with calf soreness, but it's safe to assume that the team is simply resting him for the season leg of a back-to-back. Jake LaRavia will replace Hachimura in the first unit. The 24-year-old has been a productive player as a starter this season and will have extra fantasy value on Saturday night. In five previous starts, LaRavia has averaged 12.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 steals.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura is not expected to get a contract extension from the team before the season starts. "With the current intel I have, I do not expect Rui to be extended by the Lakers in the next six weeks," Lakers insider Jovan Buha reported on Buha's Block. "It's certainly possible that something happens, but I would say most of what's been out there is them wanting to keep the books clean and wanting to see whether he starts or whether he's their sixth man and how the pieces fit this year." Hachimura is entering the last season of a three-year, $51 million deal and has been eligible for an extension since July 6. Since Hachimura is likely to be playing for his Lakers future in 2025-26, managers might get some extra fantasy value from the Japanese forward.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (face) is available for Friday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The listing isn't surprising as Hachimura has been able to suit up for games one and two. The 27-year-old has been consistent through the first two games of the series, averaging 10 PPG and five RPG. He logged 34 minutes in game two and should see a similar amount of minutes tonight as long as the Lakers are able to keep it close. Fantasy managers and DFS managers may be able to find better options for tonight's slate of games given the expected low-scoring game in Minnesota.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (knee) is expected to be in the lineup for Saturday's Game 1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, as the team has not listed him on the injury report. Hachimura has spent a large chunk of the campaign on the injury report, but he appears to be fully healthy for the most important part of the season. He has missed three of the last six games, including the regular-season finale last Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Although health issues have significantly disrupted Hachimura's season, he has performed well when in the lineup, averaging 13.1 points and 5.0 rebounds per game in 31.7 minutes.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (knee) will not be in action on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is managing a knee issue and will be held out of the first leg of a back-to-back. There is a strong chance Hachimura will rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. Hachimura's absence opens up a starting spot for Tuesday's game, but there are many uncertainties surrounding the Lakers squad, with half of the team listed on the injury report.

Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports that Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (knee) won't play on Friday versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Hachimura will be out of action with a minor knee injury after finishing with 24 points, six rebounds, and three assists across 34 minutes on Thursday against Golden State. He will likely return on Sunday against Oklahoma City. While Hachimura is on the shelf, Dorian Finney-Smith and Dalton Knecht could see a fantasy boost with more minutes and extra scoring opportunities for tonight's matchup.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. Hachimura sat out the second leg of the Lakers back-to-back on Thursday against the Bulls, but it appears he will be good to go against the Grizzlies. The 27-year-old averaged 8.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 23.3 minutes during his last three games. He was out of action for 12 consecutive contests due to a left knee injury and is building up his conditioning for heavier workloads down the stretch.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (knee) will exit the lineup for Thursday's clash against the Chicago Bulls. He only recently returned to action after missing time with a knee injury, and the team will keep Hachimura sidelined for this matchup after he played 28 minutes as a starter in Wednesday's win over the Indiana Pacers. Dorian Finney-Smith may land back in the starting unit on Thursday, with Jarred Vanderbilt and Jordan Goodwin also potentially getting extra work.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (knee) will play and start on Wednesday against Indiana. The veteran was on the shelf for an extended period because of a knee injury. Fortunately, he's been available for Los Angeles' previous two contests. However, Hachimura has struggled since returning, combing for just 10 points during that span. He's also been limited to fewer than 24 minutes. While a crack at the starting lineup should increase Hachimura's chances of added production, the minutes cap still makes him a risky fantasy option on Wednesday night.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (knee) is available for Monday's game in Orlando. The 26-year-old missed 12 games before returning for Saturday's loss to the Chicago Bulls. Unfortunately, he didn't do much, finishing with only five points in 17 minutes. With LeBron James (groin), Luka Doncic, and Austin Reaves available, Hachimura could struggle to find scoring opportunities against an Orlando team that has allowed a league-best 106.1 points per game this season, even if he plays more than he did on Saturday night.
