INJURIES

Headed to bench Hayes will return to the second unit for Monday's game in Portland, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Hayes earned a spot-start Sunday with Deandre Ayton (back) unavailable, but Ayton will be returning for Monday's game, which means Hayes could be confined to minutes in the teens. He's not a great target in most leagues when operating in a reserve role.
NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Perfect from floor in spot start Hayes provided 15 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 130-120 win over Miami.
Impact Making his first start of the season, Hayes delivered an impressive offensive performance, albeit with limited usage. The 25-year-old center will return to the bench as soon as Deandre Ayton's back spasms subside, but Hayes will be an intriguing fantasy option in the short term if he gets another starting opportunity or two.

Starting sans Ayton Hayes will start in Sunday's game against the Heat, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact With Deandre Ayton (back) sidelined, Hayes will get the starting nod for the first time this season. The big man has averaged 2.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 16.7 minutes per game across three regular-season appearances thus far.

Returns after three-game absence Hayes (knee) finished with two points (1-2 FG), three assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block in 13 minutes off the bench Wednesday in the Lakers' 116-115 win over the Timbe...
Impact Back in action after missing the previous three games due to left knee patellar tendinopathy, Hayes slotted back into his usual role as the top backup to starting center Deandre Ayton. Aside from racking up four fouls, Hayes came through with a well-rounded line in his return, but he's unlikely to see his minutes rise much from this level while Ayton remains healthy and locked in atop the depth chart.

Available Wednesday Hayes (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Impact Hayes is set to end a three-game absence due to a knee issue. With Maxi Kleber out with an oblique strain, Hayes is in position to serve as the Lakers' top backup center behind Deandre Ayton going forward.
OCTOBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Iffy for Wednesday Hayes (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Impact Hayes has missed the last three games due to a knee issue. He appears to be trending in the right direction to return. If he's unable to play for a fourth straight game, the team will likely continue to lean on Jarred Vanderbilt.

Out again Monday Hayes (knee) will not play Monday against the Trail Blazers, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Hayes will end up sitting both games of this back-to-back set, but he's considered day-to-day with soreness. With Hayes out once again, the Lakers are likely to turn to Jarred Vanderbilt after his strong performance Sunday against the Kings.

Questionable for Sunday Hayes (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Hayes is in danger of missing his second straight game due to left knee soreness. If the big man is ultimately ruled out, Jarred Vanderbilt and Christian Koloko are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Sees 14 minutes in loss Hayes closed with four points (2-3 FG), six rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 loss to the Warriors.
Impact Hayes operated as the direct backup to Deandre Ayton on Tuesday, with Jarred Vanderbilt logging 12 minutes at forward. Ayton had a decent showing in 34 minutes, and at least for now, it doesn't appear like Hayes is going to be a threat to Ayton.

Off injury report for Tuesday Hayes (wrist) is off the Lakers' injury report for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Impact Hayes exited Friday's preseason loss to the Kings due to a sprained right wrist but will return to game action in Los Angeles' regular-season opener. With Maxi Kleber (abdomen) in jeopardy of missing Opening Night, Hayes could see a slight uptick in minutes against Golden State. The 25-year-old center appeared in 56 regular-season games (35 starts) in 2024-25, during which he averaged 6.8 points and 4.8 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per game. He's expected to compete with Kleber for playing time behind Deandre Ayton in the 2025-26 campaign.
