Jaxson Hayes has been an important part of the Los Angeles Lakers’ rotation to begin the 2024-25 season as he’s one of the few true big men on the roster.
Hayes has been operating as the backup center behind Anthony Davis and has done well in his limited role. In the team’s win recent win against the Toronto Raptors, he filled in for Davis who left the game early due to an eye injury and performed admirably.
Unfortunately, Hayes injured his ankle at practice and is set to be re-evaluated in a week or two.
