The Los Angeles Lakers announced that starting forward Rui Hachimura is dealing with an illness and is listed as doubtful to play in Wednesday night’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
It’s reached that time of year where many people get sick, so hopefully the illness for Hachimura isn’t too bad and doesn’t spread through the Lakers’ locker room.
It comes at a less-than-ideal time given all of the injuries in the Lakers’ frontcourt. They have already been thin to start the season as Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Wood recover from injuries, and now it looks like both Hachimura and Anthony Davis could be out as well against Memphis in the final game of the road trip.
