Rui Hachimura injury status vs. Warriors\"LosJesse Johnson-Imagn Images<\/p>\n

After sitting out of the Lakers’ last game, a 113-110 loss to the Suns, Rui Hachimura is on track for a second consecutive absence. The team lists its seventh-year forward as doubtful with his lingering illness<\/a> on the official injury report.<\/p>\n

Hachimura has missed 11 games this year and has bounced in and out of the starting lineup. He is still a crucial part of JJ Redick’s vision, averaging the fourth-most minutes on the team.<\/p>\n

Against the Suns, Hachimura’s playing time went to Jake LaRavia, who chipped in 11 points in 28 minutes off the bench. However, Jarred Vanderbilt could be in line for additional court time against a bigger Warriors team if the Japanese forward misses another game.<\/p>\n

While Hachimura is the only significant absence for the Lakers, the Warriors are dealing with a plethora of injuries. Golden State will still be without Stephen Curry<\/a>, who has not played since Jan. 30, though Draymond Green is on track to return from a one-game absence.<\/p>\n

De’Anthony Melton, Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody have guided the Warriors in the absence of their stars. Rookie Will Richard is also coming off a 21-point outing in a win over the Memphis Grizzlies, his highest-scoring game since November.<\/p>\n
