Rui Hachimura Not Playing Saturday
21 seconds agoLos Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Hachimura will miss his third consecutive game due to a sprained right ankle. His next opportunity to play will come on Tuesday against the Utah Jazz. In Hachimura's absence, rookie Dalton Knecht is expected to start for the second straight game. Knecht has been productive in recent outings, scoring 14 and 19 points in the last two contests, while playing over 25 minutes in each. Fantasy managers may want to consider adding Knecht as a streaming option.
