Assigned to G League
Thiero has been limited to nine NBA appearances thus far with an average of 5.8 minutes per contest, so this move makes sense for the rookie.

Drops dud offensively
Outside of a scoreless outing against the Suns on Dec. 1, this was Hachimura's worst offensive showing of the season. He somewhat salvaged his production by tying his season highs in rebounds and steals. However, with Austin Reaves (calf) sidelined for at least a week, Hachimura will need to bounce back offensively.
