"Wizards forward Rui Hachimura will miss the start of training
camp due to personal reasons," the team said in a statement
Saturday. "Hachimura's absence has been excused and the team
will provide further updates when appropriate."
The Wizards open their first training camp with new head coach
Wes Unseld Jr. on Tuesday. Their first preseason game is on Oct.
5 at Houston and their regular-season opener is on Oct. 20 at
Toronto.
Hachimura, 23, was the No. 9 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft
out of Gonzaga and is entering his third season in the nation's
capital.
He averaged 13.8 points and 5.5 rebounds in 57 games (all
starts) last season and has career marks of 13.7 points and 5.8
boards in 105 games (all starts).
