Deandre Ayton News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Likely to play Monday Ayton (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Thunder, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com report.

Impact Ayton was a late scratch for Saturday's game against the Warriors due to right knee soreness. It appears the veteran center will play Monday, though he could be held out for the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back set Tuesday against the Spurs. Ayton's return would lead to Jaxson Hayes reverting to a bench role.

Day-to-day moving forward Ayton (knee) will be day-to-day moving forward, head coach JJ Redick told Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com following Saturday's win over the Warriors.

Impact Ayton was ruled out of Saturday's contest due to right knee soreness, and it's unclear whether the big man will miss more time. For now, he should be considered questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder, and if he's unable to play, then Jaxson Hayes should remain in the starting unit.
