Jaxson Hayes: Breaking News

Chips in full stat line in win

Hayes accumulated six points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 101-94 win over the Rockets in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. Hayes had missed the Lakers' final four contests of the regular season due to left foot soreness, but he's back to handling his typical role as the top backup center behind Deandre Ayton this postseason. As long as Ayton stays healthy, however, Hayes could have a hard time cracking the 20-minute plateau on a consistent basis.

Not listed on injury report

Hayes (foot) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1 matchup with the Rockets. Hayes missed L.A.'s final four regular-season games, but he'll return to the floor Saturday. With Hayes back in the mix, Maxi Kleber could drop from the rotation entirely.

Ruled out vs. Utah

Hayes (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jazz. Hayes will end the regular season with a fourth straight game on the inactive list due to a left foot issue. Maxi Kleber and Jarred Vanderbilt could see increased playing time in Hayes' stead. The big man will finish the regular season with averages of 7.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.8 blocks across 18.3 minutes per game in 66 outings (nine starts).
