Jaxson Hayes Probable for Lakers’ Game with Cavaliers on December 31st Despite Ankle Sprain
Jaxson Hayes of the Los Angeles Lakers is dealing with a right-ankle sprain. Despite this, he is expected to play in the upcoming game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on December 31st. His status has been upgraded to probable, indicating a likely return to action.
What It Means
For Jaxson Hayes, returning to the court means getting back into his usual rotation spot. He has been averaging 6.4 points and 4.5 rebounds per game this season. With a field goal percentage of 72.2%, his presence is valuable for the team.
The Lakers will benefit from having Hayes available as they face the Cavaliers. Anthony Davis remains the primary center, but Hayes provides crucial minutes off the bench. Christian Koloko is also an option but plays fewer minutes and scores less than Hayes.
