Top Jaxson Hayes News

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Playing Sunday

    Hayes (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

    Hayes will add some much-needed depth in the frontcourt in this matchup, where he'll have to battle against the likes of Ivica Zubac and Mo Bamba. Hayes should see decent minutes in this game, though he's not expected to have a big role in most fantasy formats.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Upgraded to probable

    Hayes (shoulder) has been upgraded to probable for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Iffy for Sunday

    Hayes is questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers due to right shoulder soreness, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

    Hayes made a fill-in start for Anthony Davis (foot) on Friday against the Nets, finishing with six points, nine rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes. Davis is also questionable for Sunday's game, but fortunately for the Lakers, Dorian Finney-Smith is set to return after a two-game absence for personal reasons.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Starting against Nets

    Hayes will start Friday's game against the Nets, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

    Anthony Davis (foot) was ruled out for this contest after initially carrying a probable tag, but the Lakers are likely just erring on the side of caution. In two starts this season, Hayes produced 6.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 0.5 blocks in 26.5 minutes.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Returning to bench

    Hayes is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Hawks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

    Hayes will return to his regular bench role since Anthony Davis is set to return following a one-game absence. Hayes is averaging 6.2 points and 4.0 rebounds per game in 10 outings off the bench in 2024-25,

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Middling numbers in spot start

    Hayes posted four points (2-4 FG), six rebounds, one steal and one block across 18 minutes in Thursday's 114-106 win over the Trail Blazers.

    With Anthony Davis (ankle) sitting out the front end of a back-to-back set, Hayes entered the starting five and made his first appearance since Nov. 26. The center had missed 13 straight games with a right ankle sprain/contusion, but he was available for both of the Lakers' two contests prior to Thursday. Though Hayes has been serving as Davis' primary backup when healthy this season, his standing in the rotation could vary from game to game now that he's healthy. The Lakers recently acquired Dorian Finney-Smith and could occasionally deploy him as a small-ball center in certain matchups when Davis is off the floor, and the eventual returns of Christian Wood (knee) and Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) from injuries are also likely to hurt Hayes' playing-time outlook.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Starting sans Davis

    Hayes will start Thursday's game against Portland, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    The 24-year-old big man hasn't played since Nov. 26 due to a right ankle injury, though he will enter the starting lineup Thursday with Anthony Davis (ankle) sidelined. Hayes will likely operate under a minutes restriction, meaning Dorian Finney-Smith and Christian Koloko are candidates for a bump in playing time.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: No longer on injury report

    Hayes (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

    Hayes was upgraded to probable following Monday's practice, and the team evidently feels good about his ability to suit up Tuesday and subsequently removed him from the injury report. The Texas product hasn't played in a game since Nov. 26, so he figures to be eased back into action.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Probable for Tuesday

    Hayes (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Mark Medina of Sportskeeda reports.

    Hayes has missed 20 of the Lakers' last 21 games but is trending toward playing against Cleveland, which gives Los Angeles some much-needed depth at the center position. Hayes has played fewer than 20 minutes in nine of his 11 appearances this season.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Active, but unlikely to play

    Hayes (ankle) is listed as available for Saturday's game against the Kings, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

    Hayes was initially ruled out for a 14th consecutive game due to a right ankle sprain/contusion, but the Lakers are electing to keep him active Saturday. However, McMenamin notes that Hayes will likely be available only in an emergency, as the big man isn't expected to return to action until Tuesday versus the Cavaliers.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Not playing Saturday

    Hayes (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Kings, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

    Hayes hasn't played since Nov. 26 due to a right ankle sprain. He has progressed to 5-on-5 scrimmages with contact, and while he won't play Saturday, he is on track to return against the Cavaliers on New Year's Eve.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Questionable to play Saturday

    Hayes (ankle) is questionable to play Saturday against the Kings.

    Hayes took part in practice Friday, and while that's an encouraging sign, the questionable tag suggests a decision on the big man's status will be made closer to Saturday's 10:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Hayes hasn't played since Nov. 26, meaning he's missed the Lakers' last 13 contests.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Practices Friday

    Hayes (ankle) was a limited participant during Friday's practice, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

    Hayes has missed the Lakers' last 13 outings due to a right ankle sprain, though he was able to go through non-contact portions of Friday's practice. There is no clear timetable for the big man's return, and he can be considered questionable at best for Saturday's game against the Kings until the Lakers provide an update on his status.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Still out

    Hayes (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    The Lakers are expected to provide an update on Hayes' status this week, but the update isn't likely to come before the Lakers' Christmas Day matchup with Golden State. While it's unclear how close Hayes is to returning, his next chance to play will come Saturday.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Set for re-evaluation next week

    Head coach JJ Redick said Tuesday that Hayes is working on strengthening his right ankle, and the Lakers plan to provide an update on his status next week, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

    Hayes has missed the Lakers' last nine games with what the team has labeled a right ankle sprain/contusion. The 24-year-old center appears to be ramping back up again, but he still looks set to miss another handful of games before potentially returning to action in the final week of December or in early January. Christian Koloko should continue to serve as the primary backup to Anthony Davis while Hayes is sidelined.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Not playing Friday

    Hayes (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Thunder, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports

    Hayes couldn't recover from the injury in time to suit up Friday, and he's set to miss a second straight game due to a right ankle contusion. His next chance to feature will come against the Jazz on Sunday.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Will miss time

    Hayes (ankle) is expected to be sidelined 2-to-3 weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Hayes returned from a six-game absence in Tuesday's game against the Suns and aggravated his sprained right ankle. The backup big man missed the team's last two games as a result and is now expected to be sidelined until mid-December. His earliest possible return date is seemingly Dec. 19 versus the Kings following the league's in-season tournament. In his absence, Rui Hachimura figures to continue being the prime source of depth in Los Angeles' frontcourt, while Christian Koloko and Max Christie could also see some extra run in the rotation. When healthy, Hayes is averaging 6.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 0.8 blocks across 17.5 minutes per game.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Unlikely to play Friday

    Hayes (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Thunder, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

    Hayes missed Wednesday's win against the Spurs due to a right ankle contusion, and the doubtful tag suggests his chances of returning to action Friday are slim to none. Even when healthy, Hayes shouldn't be more than an option off the bench, so his upside will be limited regardless of how healthy he is.

  • Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Won't face San Antonio

    Hayes (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

    Hayes was diagnosed with a right ankle contusion following Tuesday's loss to the Suns, and he won't feature in the second leg of his back-to-back set. However, his absence shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions. Hayes' next chance to play will come Friday against the Thunder.
