Rui Hachimura’s reaction in the background of Deni Avdija’s 3 was hilarious. It was like, ‘oh, that’s new’ 😂 – 7:44 PM

Twice now in the first 10 minutes, Wizards guards have softly bumped Jarrett Allen at the rim. They either need to be more forceful with their fouls or let it go. – 7:28 PM

“He’s able to get into full contact now. He’s going to get into some practices. … He’ll stay back and then when we get back [from the road trip], that will really be ramp up time for Rui.” – 5:41 PM

There’s a strong possibility Rui Hachimura doesn’t travel on the upcoming road trip, Wes Unseld Jr. says.
WUJ says that Rui is still in “phase 1” of his return to play plan, and hasn’t started 5v5 contact.
As I’ve mentioned before, Rui may not return until end of year/January. – 5:33 PM
