According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com, Los Angeles Lakers centerJaxson Hayes(knee) will be out against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. The 24-year-old will miss his fourth straight game in a row due to a bruised right knee. He's still dealing with swelling, so it's unknown when he will be healthy enough to return. However, his next chance to return is on Sunday against Phoenix. IfDorian Finney-Smith(ankle) and/orTrey Jemison(illness) are also sidelined, Alex Len will likely see an uptick in minutes. Unfortunately, Len won't factor in fantasy even with the extra playing time during tonight's contest, as he's only registered a total of two points and seven rebounds in his last five outings.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (knee) is out for Thursday's game against Milwaukee. The 24-year-old missed the last two games because of a bruised right knee. He's still dealing with swelling, so it's unknown if he'll be healthy enough to return when the Lakers play the Nuggets on Friday night. Alex Len got the start in Monday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. However, Len only logged 13 minutes and finished with two rebounds, two assists, and one block. Jarred Vanderbilt and Trey Jemison III also got on the floor. Still, the duo combined for only nine points. With that in mind, Len, Vanderbilt, and Jemison may split time underneath the basket on Thursday, meaning they may not be worth starting in any fantasy format.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (knee) won't play on Monday in Brooklyn. The Lakers won eight-straight games before suffering a loss to the Celtics on Saturday night. Not only that, but the team saw LeBron James (groin) go down, with the multi-time All-Star anticipated to miss at least a few weeks. Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Rui Hachimura (knee) are also out, and Luka Doncic (back) is questionable. But as far as the middle is concerned, Jarred Vanderbilt, who had four points, eight boards, and two steals versus Boston, will likely remain in the starting lineup. Vanderbilt isn't the most productive scorer on the planet. But he could get more involved if Doncic is ruled out.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (hip) will be active on Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has received a couple of upgrades throughout the day and has now officially been listed as available. On Thursday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Hayes put together one of his most productive performances of the season, finishing a 111-102 win with 10 points, seven rebounds, one block, and one steal. He will likely have a tougher evening on Friday against the Clippers, who have Ivica Zubac as a big presence under the rim.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (face) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The 24-year-old big man played only seven minutes in the previous game against the Utah Jazz, exiting the action with a facial contusion. However, he will not have to miss additional time because of the injury. Hayes has started seven consecutive games for the Lakers, averaging 8.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks over that span. With the Mark Williams trade rescinded, the Lakers will likely continue to roll with Hayes in the starting unit at the number five position.
