Hachimura (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons and will also miss the Lakers ' two-game set against the Grizzlies on Friday and Sunday, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Rui Hachimura and Deandre Ayton discussed how the Los Angeles Lakers will make up for the loss of Austin Reaves.

Hachimura's injury comes at a time when the Lakers are already missing guards Austin Reaves and Gabe Vincent due to their respective injuries. The team’s ability to adapt will be tested as they face formidable opponents. LaRavia’s insertion into the starting five signifies the coaching staff's confidence in younger players to step up when needed.

Hachimura has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to right calf soreness. Hachimura had just returned from a groin injury, so it's unclear as to when the calf injury popped up. Look for Jake LaRavia and Dalton Knecht to be much more involved Tuesday in Hachimura's absence.

Lakers starters Deandre Ayton and Rui Hachimura spoke at practice about the fixes needed for the team’s defense.
