Rui Hachimura of Wizards, an NBA-American professional basketball player whose adjustments have been delayed for personal reasons, first appeared in the team's practice on the 20th, a month after the start of this season.
This was revealed at a press conference held by Wizards coach Anseld Head on the 20th.
According to it, Hachimura showed up at the team's pre-match practice in Washington, where he is based, and adjusted it on a different menu.
Hachimura hasn't participated in the pre-opening camp this season and hasn't participated since the opening round on the 20th of last month.
The team only explained the reason as "personal circumstances", and the detailed reason is not clear.
According to Wizards, Hachimura had only practiced individually so far, but on the 20th, he showed up in the practice of the team with a different menu, and it is a step forward toward a full-scale return.
Coach Anseldhead said, "The schedule for my future return is still undecided, but I am moving forward every day. First of all, it was very nice to be able to participate in the pre-match practice."
Hachimura played 57 games last season and scored an average of 13.8 points, and he was expected to make a leap forward this season, which is his third year in the NBA.
According to the people concerned, the team is also considering making adjustments while participating in the lower league so that Hachimura can regain the sense of actual fighting.
