Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura discussed how his role will change when LeBron James is out of the lineup.
The Los Angeles Lakers will be without superstar LeBron James to begin the season due to sciatica on his right side, which means other players like Rui Hachimura will need to step up in his absence.
Hachimura has been a starter for the Lakers, but his role was limited playing alongside James, Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Anthony Davis and others.
He was mostly utilized as a spot-up shooter and offensive rebounder in L.A.’s offense.
