Perfect from field vs. Toronto Ayton tallied 25 points (10-10 FG, 5-6 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one block over 33 minutes during the Lakers' 110-93 win over the Raptors on Sunday.

Impact Ayton was perfect from the field during Sunday's win, with his lone miss coming from the charity stripe. He didn't seem bothered by a left knee injury that kept him out of Saturday's loss to the Trail Blazers, grabbing a game-high 13 boards en route to his 16th double-double of the season (and third over his last four outings). Ayton has averaged 11.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.1 blocks over 29.1 minutes per game since Jan. 2.

Ruled out Saturday Ayton (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Ayton will miss the front end of Los Angeles' back-to-back set due to left knee soreness, and his next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Raptors. With the 27-year-old center and Jaxson Hayes (hamstring) both sidelined, Maxi Kleber, Drew Timme and Jarred Vanderbilt are all candidates for increased playing time.

Iffy for Saturday Ayton (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Ayton is managing left knee soreness that puts his availability in question for the first leg of the Lakers' weekend back-to-back. With backup center Jaxson Hayes (hamstring) also questionable, Los Angeles could be without its top two bigs Saturday. If both are sidelined, Maxi Kleber and Drew Timme would be candidates to handle frontcourt minutes.
