Lakers Injury Report: Darvin Ham Supplies Update On Rui Hachimura's Calf

When will LA's power forward return?

With the clocking ticking ahead of your middling 18-19 Los Angeles Lakers' impending bout against the even worse 15-21 Toronto Raptors, we still don't know exactly who will be able to don the purple and gold for LA tonight.

But it sure doesn't sound like power forward Rui Hachimura is going to be ready to suit up.

Per Khobi Price of he Orange County Register, Hachimura is still considered day-to-day by head coach Darvin Ham. Ham noted that the 6'8" Gonzaga product has enjoyed "some great days" as he continues to recuperate from a calf ailment. While he's considered doubtful to play, Price interprets Ham's comments as signifying Hachimura will once again be absent.

Per the NBA's latest injury report, point guard Gabe Vincent remains down for the count as he recuperates from surgery to address a left knee effusion. All-Stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis also may not play. Davis is listed as probable with a left ankle sprain/bone bruise, while James is questionable to play through a left ankle peroneal tendinopathy.

For Toronto, starting center Jakob Poeltl is out with a left ankle sprain, forward Otto Porter Jr. is doubtful due to a strained right knee, and reserve big man Christian Koloko is on the shelf with a respiratory illness. Rookie lottery pick Gradey Dick, plus two-way players Javon Freeman-Liberty and Markquis Nowell, are with Toronto's NBAGL affiliate, Raptors 905.
