Rui Hachimura is out with left patella tendinopathy and will not play against the Los Angeles Clippers on 3/2/2025. This injury follows a recent left knee strain, marking his second consecutive game missed and bringing his total inactive games this season to 11.

This season, Hachimura has played 50 games, averaging 13.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game. Other players like LeBron James and Austin Reaves may see increased roles in Hachimura's absence as the Lakers prepare for their next game.
