JJ Redick confirmed that Rui Hachimura is in the "return to play" protocol but won’t have update on his status until sometime next week.

The Los Angeles Lakers are dealing with a list of injuries to some of their key players as they go down the stretch of the season, and many are looking for updates. Rui Hachimura suffered a knee injury at the end of February during the third quarter of their game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Guard Austin Reaves left Friday's game early with calf soreness, and forward Rui Hachimura sat out due to a left knee injury he sustained in Thursday's win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Hachimura's injury was initially called a knee strain.
