Even though the Los Angeles Lakers have spoken openly about the need to add another big man behind superstar Anthony Davis, the team’s current backup center Jaxson Hayes had done a more than admirable job providing good minutes off the bench.
Before he went down with a sprained ankle, Hayes was enjoying a solid run averaging 7.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in five games in the month of November. While Christian Koloko did an admirable job filling in for Hayes, the Lakers are excited to see the big man back as he is set to return in the team’s Tuesday night Emirates NBA Cup contest against the Phoenix Suns.
