Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura is currently on a team approved absence for personal reasons. According to Quinton Mayo last week, the absence is because he wanted to focus on his mental health.

Wizards F Rui Hachimura informed the team and coaching staff via text last week that he’d be absent from the beginning of training camp.
