Rui Hachimura’s injury status against the Suns
With Rui Hachimura a questionable injury, his availability will likely be a game-time decision. He came off the bench against the Magic and added 10 points and two steals and could prove useful off the bench once again.
Meanwhile, the Suns are still confirmed to be missing Dillon Brooks, Devin Booker, Cole Anthony and Haywood Highsmith. The Lakers (34-23) fell to sixth in the tight Western Conference after suffering back-to-back losses, including a loss to the Boston Celtics.
Meanwhile, the Suns (33-26) have dropped seven of their last ten games to drop to seventh in the standings. Hachimura is averaging 11.7 points and 3.4 rebounds per game and will add another threat against a largely depleted team.
Phoenix currently leads the season series 2-1, making this fourth and final meeting critical for potential postseason tiebreaker scenarios.
