Rui Hachimura Out of Paris Olympics Due to Injury
Rui Hachimura, the star forward for Japan's national basketball team and Los Angeles Lakers player, has been ruled out of the Paris 2024 Olympics due to a left calf injury. The Japan Basketball Federation announced his withdrawal just before a crucial game against Brazil, where both teams are seeking their first win in the tournament. Hachimura sustained the injury during a controversial overtime loss to France, where he had an impressive performance but was ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct. He averaged 22.0 points and 6.5 rebounds over two games in Paris. Hachimura expressed pride in representing Japan and emphasized the need for early treatment, thanking fans for their support. The absence of their star player significantly hampers Japan's chances in the tournament.
