NBA Player Ruled Out For Remainder Of Olympics

A Lakers player has reportedly been ruled out for the remainder of the Olympics.

Rui Hachimura is currently playing for Japan at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

The Los Angeles Lakers star is coming off an excellent game where he had 24 points and three rebounds while shooting 10/16 from the field and 3/5 from the three-point range in 28 minutes of playing time (Japan lost 94-90 to France).

On Thursday evening, Hachimura was ruled out for the remainder of the Olympics.

Via One Sports: “Rui Hachimura will no longer be participating in #Paris2024 for Akatsuki Five due to an injury to his left calf. According to the Japan Basketball Federation, Hachimura started feeling discomfort in his calf after their game against France!.”

Hachimura had been among the best players in the Olympics through Japan’s first two games.
