Jaxson Hayes Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Lakers center Deandre Ayton (back) will miss Wednesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. He was a late addition to the injury report due to back soreness, and the Lakers have downgraded Ayton's status ahead of tip-off from questionable to out. Jaxson Hayes will move into the starting lineup. As a starter, Hayes has significantly improved his numbers, averaging 11.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steals per game.

Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports that Los Angeles Lakers centers Jaxson Hayes (back) and Maxi Kleber (back) are unavailable for Thursday night's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Both Hayes and Kleber are dealing with back issues that also kept them sidelined during Tuesday's win against Minnesota. While the two big men are out of action, Jarred Vaderbilt, who is averaging 17.9 minutes per contest, will likely see extended minutes during this evening's clash.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Thursday's game against Phoenix after previously carrying a probable tag. Hayes is averaging 6.8 points and 3.8 rebounds in 17.3 minutes this season and should slot back into his usual reserve role behind Deandre Ayton. His availability likely trims frontcourt minutes for Maxi Kleber and Jarred Vanderbilt, limiting their deep-league appeal. Hayes remains a fringe option outside of very deep formats, offering modest rebounding and field-goal percentage support without consistent volume.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Orlando Magic due to a sprained right ankle. His next opportunity to return comes Thursday versus the Phoenix Suns. With the 25-year-old sidelined, Deandre Ayton should continue handling the bulk of the minutes at center. Jarred Vanderbilt and Maxi Kleber are expected to absorb most of the backup minutes, though neither projects as a strong fantasy option in Tuesday's matchup.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (ankle) is doubtful for Tuesday's matchup against Orlando after exiting early in the recent loss to Boston due to ankle discomfort. The 25-year-old reserve is unlikely to be available, keeping Deandre Ayton entrenched as the primary center. Jarred Vanderbilt and Maxi Kleber would handle backup minutes if Hayes sits, though neither profiles as a reliable fantasy option. Vanderbilt logged three points and five rebounds in 11 minutes last game, while Kleber saw just three minutes. This remains a low-impact situation, except in deeper leagues.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (ankle) will not return to Sunday's loss against the Celtics after suffering a right ankle injury in the first quarter. His availability for Tuesday against Orlando is uncertain. Hayes typically logs around 18 minutes off the bench, so his absence is unlikely to move the needle much in standard fantasy formats. Jarred Vanderbilt logged 11 minutes and posted three points and five rebounds, while Maxi Kleber saw only three minutes. Vanderbilt is the more viable deep-league streamer if Hayes misses time, though Deandre Ayton should continue handling the bulk of center minutes.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (hamstring) is available ahead of Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Hayes is back in the rotation after missing the last three games due to a left hamstring issue. He figures to play his regular role in the rotation with fellow big man Deandre Ayton (knee) active as well. The return of both big men will probably mean decreased roles for Maxi Kleber and Drew Timme. This season, Hayes is averaging 6.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 17.6 minutes per game. He's normally only playing minutes in the teens, which isn't going to offer high streaming appeal.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (hamstring) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks due to left hamstring soreness. The Lakers are being careful with Hayes and will have him sit out the second night of this back-to-back set. With Hayes out of action, Deandre Ayton may take on extra minutes. At the same time, Jarred Vanderbilt could have more opportunities to contribute than he usually does during this evening's clash in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (ankle) will be available to make his return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Detroit Pistons, as the team has not included him on the injury report. Last week, Hayes sat out two games due to a sore left ankle. On Monday, Hayes returned to practice and is ready to resume his duties as the backup center to Deandre Ayton, bumping Maxi Kleber down the depth chart. The Lakers' frontcourt has a tough matchup on Tuesday night against Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (ankle) is expected to miss a second consecutive game on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings, as the team has listed him as doubtful on the injury report. Hayes is bothered by soreness in his left ankle. Luckily for the Lakers, they have starting center Deandre Ayton fully healthy and wouldn't need to rely much on Hayes anyway. Maxi Kleber and Jarred Vanderbilt are backup options at center in a juicy matchup on Sunday against a team that has allowed the most fantasy points in the league to opposing fives in 2025-26.
