The Washington Wizards are working in a handful of new players on their roster, but they're still missing one of their core pieces. Rui Hachimura is still not with the team after being declared out for “personal reasons” in late September.

The Wizards forward has been away from the team in order to address his mental health, as reported by NBC Sports Washington's Quinton Mayo.

Now nearing two weeks since the initial report, Hachimura has yet to return through the start of preseason action. He has been recently active on social media, though. The Wizards star has unfollowed everyone on his Instagram account save for the page for his personal clothing brand.

While it's hard to decipher what exactly this means, all we can hope for is that Rui Hachimura is move in the right direction with his recovery.

Losing Hachimura would be a huge blow for the Wizards to start the season. He was the team's starting power forward and often got the role of defensive stopper against the opposing squad's best offensive weapon.

However, the Wizards do have a newfound level of depth with a handful of capable forwards and big wings who can take his place in the meantime. Even still, here's to hoping Rui Hachimura comes back better than ever when he's ready.
