Jaxson Hayes - Likely to play Thursday Hayes (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against Phoenix, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.
Impact Hayes is on track to return from a one-game absence because of a right ankle sprain. The 25-year-old center is averaging 6.8 points and 3.8 rebounds across 17.3 minutes per game this season. His return could mean fewer opportunities for Maxi Kleber and Jarred Vanderbilt.

Deandre Ayton - Double-double in Tuesday's loss Ayton chipped in 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 110-109 loss to Orlando.
Impact The double-double was his 18th of the season, but his first in February as he tries to get past a nagging knee issue. Through seven appearance on the month, Ayton is averaging just 10.6 points, 8.0 boards, 0.9 assists and 1.2 combined blocks and steals in 27.7 minutes a contest, but Tuesday's performance is an encouraging sign that he could be close to 100 percent healthy.

LeBron James - Hits for 21 against Orlando James accumulated 21 points (8-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 110-109 loss to the Magic.
Impact The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer missed a three-point attempt at the buzzer, but it was still another productive performance for James. He's scored at least 20 points in eight of his last 10 appearances, averaging 20.8 points, 8.1 assists, 5.1 boards, 1.2 threes and 1.1 steals over that stretch.
