Rui Hachimura contributed 12 points, three rebounds, two assists, one block, and two three-pointers in the Lakers’ loss to the Clippers. Since returning from a calf strain, Hachimura has seen increased minutes, playing 28 in consecutive games. The Lakers must decide if Hachimura will continue in a reserve role or eventually replace Jake LaRavia, who had a strong defensive showing with seven points, five rebounds, and four steals in 22 minutes as a starter.
