Jaxson Hayes News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Returns to bench Hayes isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Zion Williamson will reclaim his starting job from Hayes on Wednesday after missing the last three games with COVID-19. Hayes averaged 14.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in 23.7 over that span.

Flirts with double-double in start Hayes racked up 15 points (5-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 31 minutes during Monday's 113-93 win over the Pacers.

Impact Hayes moved into the starting lineup Monday, logging a season-high 31 minutes in the process. The Pelicans were without a number of regular rotational pieces, so Hayes stepped into a sizeable role for the second straight game. While he can be a stream consideration, even in 12-team formats, his run is likely to come to a grinding halt as soon as the team starts getting healthy bodies back on the floor.

Starting Monday Hayes is in the starting five Monday against Indiana.

Impact Hayes is getting the starting nod for the first time this year. Off the bench, the center has averaged 3.1 points and 2.2 rebounds in 9.4 minutes.

Best game of season Hayes closed with 21 points (8-9 FG, 5-8 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 28 minutes during Friday's 128-125 overtime victory over the Thunder.

Impact Hayes posted season highs in points, rebounds, assists and minutes Friday. However, fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited unless Zion Williamson (COVID-19 protocols) misses extended time, as Hayes has been out of the Pelicans' rotation for much of the season.

Questionable again Friday Hayes (elbow) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus Charlotte.

Impact Hayes missed the team's season opener due to a torn UCL he suffered Oct. 7. He was also listed as questionable Wednesday, so it is still up in the air if he will play Friday.

Upgraded to questionable Hayes (elbow) is questionable for Wednesday's season opener at Brooklyn.

Impact Hayes may be a bit ahead of schedule in his recovery, and he'll presumably test things out pregame before determining whether or not he'll play. If he's out, expect more action from Willy Hernangomez, Larry Nance and potentially Naji Marshall.
