Jaxson Hayes, the Los Angeles Lakers' backup center, has sprained his left ankle during practice and will miss the upcoming game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Lakers announced that Hayes will be reevaluated in two weeks.

This season, Hayes has been a key contributor, averaging 6.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. His absence leaves the Lakers with limited options in the frontcourt, as they also deal with Christian Wood's recovery from knee surgery.
