Still without Gabe Vincent and Jarred Vanderbilt, the Lakers must now happen of Rui Hachimura. A return to the infirmary for the 25-year-old winger, who had already missed four matches at the beginning of November due to a concussion protocol and who will miss at least four more (Cleveland, Philadelphia, Detroit, OKC), because of his surgical intervention received to treat a nasal fracture.
An injury that occurred against the Mavericks on Wednesday, which comes at the same time as the Japanese was showing good things coming off the bench, with 13 points, 4 rebounds and 1 interception on average (at 46% at 3-points) since his return to the competition. Performances in line with those of his last playoffs, which earned him to be retained during the summer by his managers.
Therefore, Rui Hachimura will miss at least a week, since Los Angeles left in road trip without him on the East Coast, and this absence further weakens the Californian defense, while LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Cam Reddish are announced as doubtful for the next “Purple & Gold” match in Cleveland.
