Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Available to play Saturday
Hachimura (knee) is not on the injury report for Game 1 against the Timberwolves on Saturday.
Hachimura is not on the injury report for the series opener, so he should handle his regular workload in a starting role for the Lakers. Hachimura averaged 13.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.8 steals per game in 59 regular-season appearances.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Won't play Sunday
Hachimura is out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to left patellar tendinopathy, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Hachimura has missed 15 of the Lakers' last 22 games due to injuries, and the Lakers will aim to give the veteran forward as much rest as possible before the start of the playoffs April 19. Hachimura will end the regular season with averages of 13.1 points and 5.0 rebounds per game while being a regular starter for the Lakers when healthy.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Available to play Wednesday
Hachimura (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Hachimura missed Tuesday's loss to the Thunder, but the forward should recover his regular role in the starting unit for Wednesday's clash. This means Dorian Finney-Smith would likely return to the bench. Hachimura has played in seven of the Lakers' last nine games (including five starts) as he continues to work through a left knee injury, averaging 11.3 points and 3.9 rebounds across 27.9 minutes per game in those contests.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Not playing Tuesday
Hachimura (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Hachimura has played in seven of the Lakers' last nine games (including five starts) as he continues to work through a left knee injury, and over that span he has averaged 11.3 points and 3.9 rebounds across 27.9 minutes. He'll be held out of Tuesday's game but could be available for the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back set Wednesday against the Mavericks. Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle), Dalton Knecht, Gabe Vincent (knee) and Jordan Goodwin are candidates to enter the Lakers' starting five due to Hachimura's absence.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Will start vs. OKC
Hachimura will be in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
After a one-game absence to manage a knee injury, Hachimura will be back on the floor Sunday in Oklahoma City while also slotting into the starting lineup with Dorian Finney-Smith set to come off the bench. In 54 games as a starter for the Lakers this season, the Gonzaga product is averaging 13.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, shooting 50.9 percent from the floor and 42.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Removed from injury report
Hachimura (knee) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Thunder, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
After missing Friday's game against the Pelicans due to managing a knee injury, Hachimura will be back on the floor for the Lakers on Sunday in Oklahoma City. The veteran forward has averaged 11.3 points and 3.3 rebounds per game since returning from a 12-game absence.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Ruled out for Friday
Hachimura (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Hachimura scored 24 points Thursday against the Warriors but is sitting out Friday due to a minor knee injury. In his absence, the Lakers will likely ask for more out of Dorian Finney-Smith, Dalton Knecht, Jarred Vanderbilt and Jordan Goodwin.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Steps up with season-high 24 points
Hachimura closed with 24 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes during Thursday's 123-116 loss to the Warriors.
Hachimura logged his fourth consecutive start in the loss, and the forward is gradually working his way back to full speed after missing 12 games with a knee injury. He wasn't on a minute restriction, so it's possible that he'll stay in the starting lineup for both games of next week's back-to-back set.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Absent from injury report
Hachimura (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.
After missing the second half of the Lakers' back-to-back in Thursday's loss to the Bulls, Hachimura is set to be available Saturday. The veteran forward has averaged 8.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 23.3 minutes over three games since returning from an extended absence with a left knee injury, so he's still building up his workload and should continue to see his playing time rise going forward.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Ruled out against Chicago
Hachimura (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Hachimura continues to manage a left knee issue, which will keep him off the floor Thursday in Chicago. The Lakers will likely turn to Dorian Finney-Smith, Dalton Knecht, Jarred Vanderbilt and Jordan Goodwin to help shoulder the load against the Bulls.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Will start vs. Indiana

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Will be available Wednesday
Hachimura (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Hachimura was initially listed as probable, so it's not surprising to see him available for this contest, and he'll suit up for a third straight game following his 12-game absence due to left patellar tendinopathy. Hachimura has been limited to 18 and 24 minutes in his two games since his return to the hardwood.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Expected to play Wednesday
Hachimura (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Hachimura is expected to suit up for a third consecutive contest following a 12-game absence due to left patellar tendinopathy. The 27-year-old forward was able to play 24 minutes during Monday's loss to Orlando after recording only 18 during his return in Saturday's loss to the Bulls. The Lakers will presumably continue to manage Hachimura's playing time.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Available with minutes restriction
Hachimura (knee) is available for Monday's game against Orlando, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
Monday will mark Hachimura's second appearance following a 12-game absence with a knee issue, and head coach JJ Redick says the veteran forward will have a minutes restriction against the Magic, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports. Hachimura logged 18 minutes in Saturday's game against Chicago, so fantasy managers should expect a similar workload in this one.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Upgraded to probable Monday
Hachimura (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Orlando, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Hachimura had missed 12 games due to left knee patellar tendinopathy before returning for Saturday's loss to the Bulls. He was initially listed as questionable for Monday's game, but the 2019 first-round pick appears to be on track to play in a second straight contest. Hachimura was limited to 18 minutes of playing time in Saturday's contest, and he's expected to operate under a minutes restriction while working on his conditioning.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Iffy to play Monday
Hachimura (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Magic, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Hachimura was able to return to game action during Saturday's blowout loss to the Bulls following a 12-game absence due to left knee patellar tendinopathy. He posted five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 18 minutes. The Lakers will likely continue to manage the forward's availability ahead of the playoffs, as Hachimura said postgame that he, "can't really get back to 100 percent right away," per Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Poor production in return
Hachimura (knee) tallied five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 18 minutes Saturday in the Lakers' 146-115 loss to the Bulls.
Hachimura was back in action after missing the last 12 games due to left patellar tendinopathy, but his return was overshadowed by that of LeBron James (groin), who also suited up after sitting out the last seven contests. Unlike James -- who played 31 minutes before head coach JJ Redick pulled all of his starters with 6:42 remaining in the blowout loss -- Hachimura operated with a harder cap on his minutes in his first game back. Hachimura also came off the bench for the first time all season and may eventually supplant Dorian Finney-Smith, but expect the 27-year-old to play on the second unit for at least one more contest after struggling during his time on the court Saturday. Bringing Hachimura off the bench will also allow the Lakers to slowly ramp up his minutes, though the veteran forward probably shouldn't be counted on to reclaim the 30-plus-minute role he had regularly handled prior to suffering his knee injury.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Ready to play vs. Chicago
Hachimura (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Hachimura is set to return for the first time since Feb. 27, although head coach JJ Redick stated the forward will be on a minutes restriction that should hover around 20 to 24 minutes, according to Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet. Hachimura is averaging 13.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.8 steals per game across 50 starts this season.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Now likely to play against Chicago
Hachimura (knee) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Bulls.
Hachimura has been upgraded from questionable to probable after missing the Lakers' previous 12 outings due to a left knee injury. If Hachimura is ultimately upgraded to available, it wouldn't be surprising for him to operate on a minutes restriction.

Lakers' Rui Hachimura: Questionable for Saturday
Hachimura (knee) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Hachimura has missed the last 12 games for the Lakers while nursing a left knee issue, but he might be able to return to the floor Saturday. The 26-year-old forward is having a solid season, averaging 13.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor and 41 percent from deep.
