Jaxson Hayes's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (ankle) will be re-evaluated in 1-2 weeks after he was injured in practice. The 24-year-old sprained his left ankle on Tuesday. The timing of the injury is very unfortunate for Hayes, who had just enjoyed his best outing of the campaign with a 12-point, six-rebound effort versus Toronto. He's averaging 6.3 points and 4.6 boards for the season as Anthony Davis' backup. Christian Koloko gets a chance to play a larger role with Hayes out, but he doesn't have fantasy value.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (calf) is on track to return to the lineup on Tuesday against Toronto. He was sidelined with a calf contusion on Sunday versus Brooklyn. Hayes averages 4.1 points and 2.9 rebounds and doesn't usually play a significant role for the Lakers, but we could see a lot more of him this week as Tuesday marks the start of a back-to-back. Anthony Davis (knee) sat out one game in a back-to-back last week, allowing Hayes to join the starting lineup. He had a solid game with 14 points, seven rebounds, and a block as a starter against Memphis.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (calf) won't be available against the Nets on Sunday. He has been ruled out with a left calf contusion, as the Lakers lose another frontcourt option. Hayes has been a reliable backup to Anthony Davis (knee) and played well in a starting role earlier in the week against Memphis when Davis sat out the second leg of a back-to-back. Davis is once again questionable ahead of Sunday's game. With the Lakers down to bare bones at the center position, Davis could get a massive workload without Hayes if he's deemed available.
