Rui Hachimura Considered Day-To-Day
1 year agoLos Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (concussion) is considered day-to-day by the team. The Japanese ace has landed in concussion protocol, and he's missed four straight games. However, it seems like his return isn't far away anymore. Hachimura looked great off the bench in his last game, amassing 11 points and six rebounds in 17 minutes against the Kings. He has averaged 8.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 14.7 minutes overall. Once he's back healthy, Hachimura could give the 3-4 Lakers quality minutes off the pine. His next chance to return comes on Wednesday versus Houston, which should be a great matchup for the L.A.'s second unit, as the Rockets allow a league-high 45.0 bench points per game.
