When the Los Angeles Lakers signed center Jaxson Hayes in the summer of 2023, they did so despite him having a previous arrest for a domestic violence incident in 2021.
The NBA investigated into the matter but did not suspend Hayes due to a lack of evidence. However, now a couple of years later, a video of the incident was brought to light by TMZ, which prompted the league to reopen its investigation.
What is in the video is not great as Hayes can be seen pushing and spitting at his girlfriend while also throwing around furniture.
