Jaxson Hayes

Jaxson Hayes will be active for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, according to Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times. Hayes has been dealing with an ankle issue, but it will not keep him from suiting up.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran center has played in five games for the Lakers so far this season. He is currently averaging 5.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 76.5 percent from the field.

Jaxson Hayes (ankle) is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Fantasy Impact

Hayes is technically listed on Los Angeles' injury report for Wednesday due to an ankle injury, but it's not a serious issue and he is expected to play through it against the Spurs. He is not expected to be a reliable game-to-game fantasy option moving forward, despite his injury not being a big deal.

Jaxson Hayes scored 15 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 3PT) with five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in Sunday's 130-120 victory over the Miami Heat.

Fantasy Impact

With Deandre Ayton (back) unavailable on Sunday, Hayes drew the spot start and capitalized on a season-high 32 minutes, going 7-for-7 from the field to finish with 15 points. If Ayton misses Monday’s contest against the Portland Trail Blazers, Hayes is someone worth considering in daily fantasy or as a waiver addition.

Hayes will make his return Wednesday after missing the last three games with a knee issue.

Fantasy Impact

The Lakers will get some much-needed frontcourt depth back with Hayes cleared to play. With Maxi Kleber sidelined due to an oblique strain, Hayes is positioned to take over as Deandre Ayton’s primary backup at center moving forward.

Jaxson Hayes has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Fantasy Impact

Hayes will remain sidelined for the Lakers. Deandre Ayton should continue to dominate the minutes at center.
