Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: 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.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: 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.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: 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.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: 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.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: 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.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: 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.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: 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 impact in most fantasy formats due to his bench role.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: 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.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Iffy for Sunday
Hayes is questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers due to right shoulder soreness, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Hayes made a fill-in start for Anthony Davis (foot) on Friday against the Nets, finishing with six points, nine rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes. Davis is also questionable for Sunday's game, but fortunately for the Lakers, Dorian Finney-Smith is set to return after a two-game absence for personal reasons.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Starting against Nets
Hayes will start Friday's game against the Nets, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.
Anthony Davis (foot) was ruled out for this contest after initially carrying a probable tag, but the Lakers are likely just erring on the side of caution. In two starts this season, Hayes produced 6.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 0.5 blocks in 26.5 minutes.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Returning to bench
Hayes is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Hawks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Hayes will return to his regular bench role since Anthony Davis is set to return following a one-game absence. Hayes is averaging 6.2 points and 4.0 rebounds per game in 10 outings off the bench in 2024-25,

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Middling numbers in spot start
Hayes posted four points (2-4 FG), six rebounds, one steal and one block across 18 minutes in Thursday's 114-106 win over the Trail Blazers.
With Anthony Davis (ankle) sitting out the front end of a back-to-back set, Hayes entered the starting five and made his first appearance since Nov. 26. The center had missed 13 straight games with a right ankle sprain/contusion, but he was available for both of the Lakers' two contests prior to Thursday. Though Hayes has been serving as Davis' primary backup when healthy this season, his standing in the rotation could vary from game to game now that he's healthy. The Lakers recently acquired Dorian Finney-Smith and could occasionally deploy him as a small-ball center in certain matchups when Davis is off the floor, and the eventual returns of Christian Wood (knee) and Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) from injuries are also likely to hurt Hayes' playing-time outlook.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Starting sans Davis
Hayes will start Thursday's game against Portland, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The 24-year-old big man hasn't played since Nov. 26 due to a right ankle injury, though he will enter the starting lineup Thursday with Anthony Davis (ankle) sidelined. Hayes will likely operate under a minutes restriction, meaning Dorian Finney-Smith and Christian Koloko are candidates for a bump in playing time.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: No longer on injury report
Hayes (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Hayes was upgraded to probable following Monday's practice, and the team evidently feels good about his ability to suit up Tuesday and subsequently removed him from the injury report. The Texas product hasn't played in a game since Nov. 26, so he figures to be eased back into action.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Probable for Tuesday
Hayes (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Mark Medina of Sportskeeda reports.
Hayes has missed 20 of the Lakers' last 21 games but is trending toward playing against Cleveland, which gives Los Angeles some much-needed depth at the center position. Hayes has played fewer than 20 minutes in nine of his 11 appearances this season.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Active, but unlikely to play
Hayes (ankle) is listed as available for Saturday's game against the Kings, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Hayes was initially ruled out for a 14th consecutive game due to a right ankle sprain/contusion, but the Lakers are electing to keep him active Saturday. However, McMenamin notes that Hayes will likely be available only in an emergency, as the big man isn't expected to return to action until Tuesday versus the Cavaliers.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Questionable to play Saturday
Hayes (ankle) is questionable to play Saturday against the Kings.
Hayes took part in practice Friday, and while that's an encouraging sign, the questionable tag suggests a decision on the big man's status will be made closer to Saturday's 10:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Hayes hasn't played since Nov. 26, meaning he's missed the Lakers' last 13 contests.
