Wizards rookie big man Rui Hachimura got officially welcomed to the NBA on Monday, essentially, and it hurt.
Hachimura has been one of the few bright spots for the team, as he’s already shown he can be a player to build around in the future, averaging 13.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists. He’s also been shooting pretty well from the field, at 48.2 percent, doing good work away from the basket.
But he unfortunately suffered some friendly fire in Monday’s game against the Pistons, when teammate Isaac Bonga kicked him right in the bread basket.

He did not return to the game, either, as the Wizards were taking no chances with him.
