Rui Hachimura has been back, the reason why he could miss tonight's game vs OKC revealed

The Los Angeles Lakers have a tough game tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the last time the two teams faced each other, the Thunder took the win, but this game things are about to be different.

With the team apparently having the opportunity to have the full roster for the second time in the season and Anthony Davis saying the mindset of the team is to treat this contest as a must-win.

Still, Hachimura is listed as questionable, Rui's status stems from his fall last night in Minnesota. Not only Hachimura has to keep using the mask to protect his nasal fracture surgery, but now he is questionable due to a left wrist soreness.

Rui has been valuable for the Lakers, especially when LeBron James isn't around. In the loss to Minnesota, Rui scored 18 points with 1 rebound, 2 assists and one steal.

Rui Hachimura's name has been in the trade rumors, the reasons why he needs to stay

Rui Hachimura was a big reason for the Lakers being able to turn things around last season, still, for this campaign, many rumors and reports have him as a potential trading asset for the team. Hachimura needs to stay and have a bigger role with the team, needs more plays specific for him, needs to be playing more with LeBron James, and finally, needs to be posting up smaller defenders.
