The Lakers welcomed back LeBron James and Rui Hachimura, who returned from knee tendinopathy after a month-long rehabilitation. Although Hachimura is back on the court, he acknowledged that he is not at full strength, estimating he is currently at 70-80%. Despite this limitation, his presence is beneficial for the Lakers, who possess sufficient team depth to manage his playing time and mitigate the impact of his injury by resting him as necessary for upcoming games.
"It's like 70, 80 [percent], my knee's going to be like there for a while, I think. I can't really get back to 100% right away."
"That being said, few players ever are healthy at this point in a season. Everyone is dealing with some sort of ailment."
