Lakers Injury Report: Key LA Role Player On Minutes Restriction

While LeBron James and Anthony Davis have stayed on the floor much more than in years past this season, a few of LA's role players have been a revolving door of injuries. 

Forwards Jarred Vanderbilt, Rui Hachimura, and Cam Reddish have all missed decent chunks of time at different points throughout the season, with Vanderbilt just now being declared fully healthy. 

Hachimura has been back for a few games amidst battling a concussion, calf injury, and facial injury, but with an asterisk on it. 

Rui has been on a minutes restriction, and head coach Darvin Ham has revealed ahead of tonight's Brooklyn Nets game that that won't be changing tonight, reports Jovan Buha of The Athletic.

This is surprising, as minutes restrictions typically only last a couple of games.

At this stage, Hachimura should be back at full health and be conditioned to play as much as necessary, so seeing him still on a restriction implies either him playing banged up, or Darvin Ham being overly cautious without explaining why. 

One way or another, Hachimura should remain productive, and hopefully he can have that restriction lifted as soon as possible.
