Lakers 'optimistic' Rui Hachimura knee injury isn't serious
Briefly

Rui Hachimura has been a crucial part of the Lakers' success this season, contributing consistently as a starter. His recent improvement since Luka Dončić's trade made his injury during a game against the Wolves particularly frustrating. Coach JJ Redick expressed optimism that the injury is not serious, awaiting further examinations. Hachimura's impressive season stats include averaging 13.3 points per game, a team-leading 41% from three-point range, and career-best rebounds and assists. His absence could significantly hinder the Lakers as they prepare for a tough March schedule.
We're optimistic this is not a serious injury, but we're still not quite clear on when he will be available to play.
Thirty-four minutes of playing time of a guy who plays really well on both ends and has done a really good job of executing our schemes defensively.
