'There's just not enough minutes for everyone,' Darvin Ham said on leaving Rui Hachimura on the bench

In a painful loss in a must-win game against the Chicago Bulls, the Lakers have put on risk their chances to make it into the postseason and have declined into the 9th spot after being at the 8th seed in the Western Conference.

One of the main questions that the fans and NBA media were wondering was why the Lakers Wing, which could've helped the team, Rui Hachimura, didn't see any minutes on the court.

Coach Darvin Ham has now come out and given an answer that isn't convincing, as it seems to be another excuse instead of trying to make adjustments on the game that could've helped to push with a new player when things aren't working out.

"There's just not enough minutes for everyone. Lonnie has been going through that for the last several games. We have a lot of good players, through no fault of their own, but someone is gonna be left out of the rotation. Tonight it was Rui. Getting LeBron back out there was great, and now everybody just needs to get back on the same page and get back in rhythm with one another. Not saying that we were out of rhythm, but just getting back together and just playing a 12:30 game, you can use escuse after excuse, LeBron just coming back, whatever. But we got to come out and play basketball like we've been playing. We'll fix the rest, but agian, we have a good team, a deep team and guys are gonna get the short end of the stick. It just happened to be Rui tonight." Said, coach Darvin Ham.

Troy Brown Jr. said it better than Darvin Ham

In Troy Brown Jr's. Post-game interview, the player admitted that LeBron's threw "role players" out of their rhythm but is glad he's back.
