The Los Angeles Lakers have been on a roll lately but over the past few games, they have suffered a few unfortunate injuries. One of which has come to forward Rui Hachimura as he suffered an injury in their win over the Minnesota Timberwolves earlier this week.

JJ Redick said the Los Angeles Lakers are optimistic Rui Hachimura will not miss too much time with his left patella tendinopathy.

Hachimura's injury was initially called a knee strain. But according to Lakers head coach JJ Redick, it has now been diagnosed as patellar tendinopathy. The forward will be examined again in one week.
