Doncic praises Hachimura’s underrated start
Rui Hachimura is quietly building a stellar season for the 7-2 Lakers, hitting 47.2% from deep and sealing key moments against the Spurs. Luka Doncic joked he’ll finally pass him the ball—because apparently scoring efficiently isn’t enough to get service in Hollywood.
Coach JJ Redick called Hachimura’s late plays in San Antonio the two biggest of the game, highlighting his growing importance. In a year full of injuries, the forward’s reliability could be pure gold for L.A.
