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.

Lakers Injury Report
Latest Lakers News
Jaxson Hayes : 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.
Austin Reaves : Set to miss at least another week
Reaves (oblique) is expected to miss at least one more week, per Khobi Price of The California Post. Neither Reaves nor Luka Doncic (hamstring) will be re-evaluated this week, leaving both players in serious jeopardy of missing Los Angeles' first-round playoff series against the Rockets. LeBron James will have to do the heavy lifting offensively for the Lakers, and the likes of Marcus Smart, Jake LaRavia and Rui Hachimura will also be asked to step up.
Luka Doncic : Out at least one more week
Doncic (hamstring) will miss at least one more week, per Khobi Price of The California Post. Doncic is still considered out indefinitely due to a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, and his status for the first round of the playoffs versus Houston remains in serious doubt. With Austin Reaves (oblique) also out indefinitely, the Lakers will have to lean more heavily on LeBron James, and Luke Kennard should continue to play a more prominent role in the backcourt as well.
Luka Doncic : To be re-evaluated Tuesday
Doncic (hamstring) is scheduled to be re-evaluated on Tuesday, Shams Charania reported on the Pat McAfee Show. Doncic spent the past week in Spain undergoing multiple injection treatments on his Grade 2 hamstring strain. Charania notes that the expectation is that Doncic will be sidelined to start the series, which comes as no surprise, but there should be a better understanding of his timeline once the Lakers re-evaluate him.
Bronny James : Delivers 11 points off bench Sunday
James supplied 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), one rebound, four assists and one steal in 19 minutes during Sunday's 131-107 win over the Jazz. James took advantage of the minutes he logged off the bench and posted a decent stat line all around. His improvement compared to the rookie year has been noticeable, but he's not likely to play a big role in the Lakers' rotation throughout the playoffs, even with Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique) sidelined.
Deandre Ayton : Records double-double Sunday
Ayton provided 22 points (10-14 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 26 minutes during Sunday's 131-107 victory over Utah. Ayton co-led the Lakers in scoring alongside Rui Hachimura, and the big man will need to provide this kind of output on offense in a difficult first-round series against the Rockets due to the likely absences of Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique) for much of the series. Ayton averaged 12.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game across 72 starts in the regular season.
Rui Hachimura : Puts up 22 points in blowout win
Hachimura produced 22 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 131-107 victory over the Jazz. With no Luka Doncic (hamstring) or Austin Reaves (oblique) in the lineup, and with LeBron James logging only 17 minutes, Hachimura co-led the Lakers in scoring alongside Deandre Ayton. With Doncic and Reaves not expected to be a factor in the early stages of the playoff series against the Rockets, Hachimura will be tasked with playing a big role on offense as a scorer behind James. Hachimura averaged 11.5 points per game across 68 appearances (41 starts) in 2025-26, but that number increased marginally to 13.4 points per contest when he was part of the first unit.
Jake LaRavia : Coming off bench Sunday
LaRavia will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Jazz, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. LaRavia has started each of the last 10 games, but he will retreat to the bench Sunday. In his last five appearances in a reserve role, he averaged 4.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 13.2 minutes per contest.
