JJ Redick after practice on Sunday said Hachimura was a full participant in practice, according to Lakers Nation’s Daniel Starkand. Hachimura then confirmed to local media that

The Lakers have a defensive rating of 116.8, which is 23rd in the NBA. The Denver Nuggets are the only team currently in a playoff position with a worse defensive rating and that’s just by decimal points, as Denver sits at 117.

Lakers forward Rui Hachimura has missed six games because of right calf soreness, but he's on track to possibly return this week.

The team’s ‘best catch-and-shoot guy’ missed the last five games with a calf strain but could be back in the lineup for Monday’s game at Sacramento.

The Los Angeles Lakers found out that two of their rumored trade targets are being taken off the market before the Bucks game.

The Lakers had a great shot at victory in the closing moments of Friday's game versus the Bucks, but they blew it.

Luka Doncic, who had an off shooting night by making only eight of 25 from the field, fouls out and LeBron James, who had 26 points, has a late turnover.

The Lakers’ strength in the half-court is nearly entirely a result of their star trio. With the Chimera that is Luka Dončić, LeBron James and Austin Reaves, Los Angeles has three capable options who can always create a good look against even the most stingy of defenses.
