Jaxson Hayes Latest News
Will be available Wednesday

Hayes (face) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, head coach JJ Redick told the media Tuesday, according to Khobi Price of The Orange County Register. Hayes has started in each of the Lakers' last seven games, and that streak might continue Wednesday in the league's return following the All-Star break. It's unclear if Hayes will remain as the Lakers' starting center with Alex Len and Christian Koloko also in the mix, but Hayes has been playing 20-to-25 minutes on a regular basis over the last few weeks.
Early exit Wednesday

Hayes has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Utah due to a facial contusion, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports. It's unclear when Hayes sustained the injury, but it'll prevent him from playing in the second half. He'll finish the contest with four points (2-2 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one block over seven minutes. Alex Len and Christian Koloko should handle most of the center minutes the rest of the way. The Lakers' next game will be Feb. 19 against Charlotte.
Season highs in points and steals

Hayes chipped in 12 points (6-6 FG), two rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals over 23 minutes during Monday's 132-113 win over the Jazz. Hayes showed how impactful he can be with new superstar teammate Luka Doncic during Monday's win against the Jazz. The 24-year-old big man went 6-for-6 from the floor for a season-high 12 points to go along with a season-high three steals, capping off an impressive outing against Utah.
New season high in rebounds

Hayes contributed nine points (4-4 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 29 minutes during Saturday's 124-117 win over the Pacers. The dozen boards were a new season high for Hayes, who nearly came away with his second double-double of the campaign. The 24-year-old center has started five straight games for the Lakers, averaging 8.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals in 25.0 minutes a contest, and with the Mark Williams trade apparently falling through, he could remain in that role until the team finds another solution in the middle.
Grabs six boards in win

Hayes closed Tuesday's 122-97 win over the Clippers with six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes. The Lakers' lack of frontcourt depth was perhaps the most inscrutable part of this week's blockbuster trade. Unless the Lakers make another move soon, it appears that Hayes will be their No. 1 option in the paint, and although the fifth-year pro has a lot of experience, his ability to hold down a full-time job is an open question. He's never averaged more than 20 minutes per game in a season and has started only 58 games since joining the league in 2019.
Set to start sans Davis

Hayes said he will start center in Thursday's game versus the Wizards, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. With Anthony Davis (abdomen) out for at least a week, Hayes will get the first opportunity to start at center in his absence. Hayes is averaging 6.0 points and 8.3 rebounds in 28.7 minutes across his previous three starting appearances this season.
Sees 19 minutes

Hayes closed Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the 76ers with four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two blocks over 19 minutes. Hayes didn't see a big uptick in minutes despite the fact that Anthony Davis left this game with an abdominal injury. Davis is expected to miss at least three games, so Hayes is someone to monitor in deeper leagues during the short term if he gets the starting nod Thursday against Washington.
Playing Sunday

Hayes (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports. He'll come off the bench since Anthony Davis (foot) is available and starting. Hayes will add some much-needed depth in the frontcourt in this matchup, where he'll have to battle against the likes of Ivica Zubac and Mo Bamba. Hayes should see decent minutes in this game, though he's not expected to have a big role in most fantasy formats due to his bench role.
Upgraded to probable

Hayes (shoulder) has been upgraded to probable for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. Hayes was previously considered questionable. The center will be on the streaming radar Sunday if Anthony Davis (foot) isn't able to shake off his questionable tag. In a fill-in start Friday versus the Nets, Hayes produced six points, nine rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes.
