Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Won't play Thursday
Hayes (back) is out for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
This is a surprise for the Lakers, with Hayes previously labeled as probable. With this news, it's likely that Jarred Vanderbilt picks up some run in the frontcourt with so many players on the shelf.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Likely to play Thursday
Hayes (back) is probable for Thursday's game against Chicago, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
Hayes was downgraded to out shortly before tipoff Tuesday because of back soreness, but he's on track to return Thursday. Hayes is averaging 7.0 points and 4.0 rebounds across 17.7 minutes per game this season.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Out with back soreness
Hayes won't play Tuesday against the Timberwolves due to back soreness.
Hayes was a late addition to the injury report, so it appears the back issue flared up at some point during pre-game warmups. Maxi Kleber (back) is also out, so Drew Timme will be the favorite to get run as the backup center Tuesday evening.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Headed to bench
Hayes will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
Deandre Ayton (knee) is back and starting, so Hayes will return to a reserve role with the Lakers. In 45 games off the bench this season, Hayes has averaged 6.2 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Operates as starter Friday
Hayes recorded nine points (3-6 FG, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Friday's 128-117 victory over the Pacers.
Hayes entered the starting lineup Friday with Deandre Ayton (knee) and Maxi Kleber (back) both sidelined, marking his eighth start of the campaign. While he didn't quite replicate the scoring punch from his season-high 19-point performance against Denver on Thursday, he remained efficient from the floor and perfect from the charity stripe. Hayes notably logged 25 minutes in the win, serving as the primary beneficiary of the Lakers' thinned frontcourt. He should continue to see expanded run for as long as Ayton remains on the shelf.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Starting Friday
Hayes is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Pacers, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.
Hayes will draw the start with Deandre Ayton (knee) unavailable and could be headed for major minutes due to Maxi Kleber (back) also being out. Through seven starts this season, Hayes has registered averages of 11.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Hits for season-high 19 off bench
Hayes finished Thursday's 120-113 loss to Denver with 19 points (8-10 FG, 3-5 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes off the bench.
Deandre Ayton (knee) was able to play only four minutes, opening the door for Hayes to see his biggest workload since Feb. 12 and set a new season scoring high. Hayes hasn't scored more than eight points in any of his prior six games, but if Ayton winds up missing more time, he's likely to be the biggest beneficiary in the Lakers' frontcourt.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Good to go Thursday
Hayes (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Suns, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Hayes didn't play in the Lakers' loss to the Magic on Tuesday due to a right ankle sprain, but he has been cleared to play in Thursday's contest and will serve as the top big man off the bench behind Deandre Ayton. Hayes has averaged 8.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 16.0 minutes per game since Feb. 1.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Likely to play Thursday
Hayes (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against Phoenix, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.
Hayes is on track to return from a one-game absence because of a right ankle sprain. The 25-year-old center is averaging 6.8 points and 3.8 rebounds across 17.3 minutes per game this season. His return could mean fewer opportunities for Maxi Kleber and Jarred Vanderbilt.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Won't play Tuesday
Hayes won't play in Tuesday's game against the Magic due to a sprained right ankle, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com.
The Lakers deem Hayes day-to-day ahead of his next chance to play Thursday, when Los Angeles takes on the Suns. Maxi Kleber should handle the No. 2 center spot behind Deandre Ayton, but that role doesn't seem to offer him much fantasy upside.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Tagged doubtful for Tuesday
Hayes (ankle) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Magic, Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Coach JJ Redick said earlier in the day that the team is considering Hayes day-to-day, but it doesn't appear as though he'll be cleared to suit up for Tuesday's clash. Maxi Kleber would slot in as the backup center if Hayes is downgraded to out.

Hayes is being considered day-to-day after suffering a right ankle injury during Sunday's game against Boston, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
The Lakers have yet to release their injury report for Tuesday's matchup with the Magic, so it remains to be seen what injury tag he'll carry leading up to tipoff. Hayes suffered the injury during the first quarter of Sunday's clash and was unable to return.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Won't return Sunday
Hayes will not return to Sunday's game against the Celtics due to a right ankle injury, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.
Hayes exited the game in the first quarter and will not return due to a right ankle injury. Jarred Vanderbilt and Maxi Kleber could see extra minutes off the bench with Hayes sidelined. His status for Tuesday's game against the Magic is now in question.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Looks good in Thursday's start
Hayes had 16 points (8-10 FG), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 34 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 victory over the Mavericks.
Making his third start in the last four games while Deandre Ayton (knee) is on the mend, Hayes tied his season scoring high while setting new season highs in minutes and steals. The 25-year-old center is averaging 13.7 points, 5.0 boards, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 21.7 minutes over the last three contests, but his role is likely to shrink once Ayton is cleared to return.

Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Starting sans Ayton
