Hachimura was previously considered questionable, but he'll miss his second straight contest and will be considered day-to-day moving forward. With Marcus Smart (ankle) also out, there will be plenty of minutes available for guys like Jake La Ravia and Luke Kennard.
Ayton was a late addition to the Lakers' injury report Wednesday morning due to back soreness. The issue will prevent the veteran big man from suiting up, which will likely allow Jaxson Hayes and Jarred Vanderbilt to step into larger roles. Ayton's next chance to play will come Friday against Brooklyn.
Smart was unable to shake his doubtful tag and will miss his second straight contest. With Smart sidelined, the Lakers may rely more on Luke Kennard and Jake La Ravia.
Thiero is not usually in the rotation for the Lakers, so his absence won't have many fantasy implications.
Out
N. Smith Jr.
Despite coming off the bench, Smith was still able to lead all scorers Wednesday. The two-way player has made just one appearance at the NBA level since Feb. 3, with Smith averaging 19.5 points, 4.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 2.5 three-pointers in 30.4 minutes per game through six G League outings in 2025-26.
