Won't play Friday Hayes (foot) is out for Friday's game against the Suns.

Impact Friday is marking a third consecutive absence for Hayes, whose last chance to return during the regular season is Sunday against the Jazz. Jarred Vanderbilt effectively served as the Lakers' primary backup center while logging 26 minutes during Thursday's win in Golden State, so he figures to occupy that role once more Friday.

Remaining out Thursday Hayes (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Hayes will miss a second consecutive game due to left foot soreness, and his next opportunity to play is Friday against the Suns. Maxi Kleber and Drew Timme should both operate in expanded roles for as long as Hayes is sidelined.

Standout showing off bench Hayes had 23 points (8-10 FG, 7-8 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Sunday's 134-128 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Despite coming off the bench, Hayes ended up playing 27 minutes as opposed to Deandre Ayton's 19 on Sunday.

Five rejections off bench Friday Hayes racked up 10 points (2-3 FG, 6-10 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and five blocks over 26 minutes off the bench during Friday's 116-99 win over the Nets.

Impact The five swats were a season high for Hayes, but the 25-year-old center has been ruthless at the rim of late. He's recorded multiple rejections in five straight games (one start), averaging 11.2 points, 6.6 boards, 3.2 blocks, 0.8 assists and 0.8 steals in 24.2 minutes during that span while shooting 75.0 percent from the floor.

Productive in spot start Hayes produced 21 points (9-11 FG, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 137-130 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Hayes moved into the starting lineup due to the absence of Deandre Ayton (back) and made the most of the opportunity with an efficient double-double and a loaded fantasy line. This was just the second time he recorded multiple blocks and steals in the same game, and both have come in his last two appearances. Plus, Hayes is now on a run of four straight outings with multiple blocks and has scored in double digits in back-to-back games. Ayton remains the No. 1 option at center, but Hayes is proving he can deliver decent coverage when needed.

Swats three shots off bench Hayes finished Saturday's 105-104 victory over the Magic with eight points (3-3 FG, 2-6 FT), seven rebounds and three blocks across 19 minutes.

Impact Despite fairly lackluster play from Deandre Ayton overall recently, Hayes doesn't appear to be making a serious case for more playing time. Hayes has averaged 4.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 block in 16.7 minutes per contest in his last six games, shooting a weak 40,0 percent from the field.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Hayes returns to the lineup tonight after a two-game absence due to back soreness. He is expected to resume his usual backup center duties behind Deandre Ayton, which likely pushes Drew Timme out of the rotation.
