Jaxson Hayes News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

Not playing Friday Hayes (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Thunder, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports

Impact Hayes couldn't recover in time from the injury, 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.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

Won't face San Antonio Hayes (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Impact 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.

Doubtful for Wednesday Hayes is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Spurs due to a right ankle contusion, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact After returning from a six-game absence Tuesday against the Suns with a left ankle issue, Hayes tweaked his right ankle in the final minutes and did not return. For that reason, it's no surprise to see the Lakers hold the reserve big man out Wednesday. Christian Koloko could potentially pick up the backup center minutes in Hayes' place Wednesday.

Impact Hayes returned to game action following a six-game absence due to a lingering left ankle injury. To add insult to injury in a blowout loss, he appeared to hurt his right ankle on a dunk with 1:03 remaining in the game. The big man's status is now in jeopardy ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Spurs. If Hayes is sidelined, Christian Koloko will likely see an uptick in playing time behind Anthony Davis.

Iffy for Wednesday Hayes (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Hayes is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season due to a right ankle sprain. The big man was listed on the injury report before Sunday's win over Toronto with left knee soreness, and it is unclear whether the new injury will cause him to miss significant time. If Hayes is unable to go, Christian Koloko could see extended playing time behind Anthony Davis (foot/eye).

NOVEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Hayes (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
