LeBron James, Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes returned home but the Los Angeles Lakers consider all three day-to-day.

The big problem is that they're without their starting frontcourt right now. LeBron James continues to rehab from the groin strain he suffered on Saturday versus the Boston Celtics, and forward Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes are still out due to patellar tendinopathy and a knee contusion, respectively.

JJ Redick confirmed that Rui Hachimura is in the "return to play" protocol but won’t have update on his status until sometime next week.
