Hachimura will be on the floor Thursday for the Lakers in Washington. The veteran forward is having a somewhat up-and-down season for Los Angeles as he's struggled with his consistency, averaging 12.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, shooting 49.2 percent from the floor.

Rui Hachimura has developed into one of the Los Angeles Lakers’ most important role players over the past couple of years since being acquired in a midseason trade with the Washington Wizards back in 2023.
