Rui Hachimura struggled upon his return from a groin injury, finishing with zero points on 0-of-6 shooting in the Lakers’ loss to the Rockets. Despite playing 28 minutes, Hachimura’s contribution was limited to two rebounds, two assists, and one steal. The Lakers have a break until Sunday, offering Hachimura time to recover fully and regain his form after a challenging return to the court.
