Without the presence of LeBron James, LA had no answer to Naz Reid and Anthony Edwards, who both piled up the points for Minnesota. Nonetheless, there was still a silver lining to the Lakers’ night. Specifically speaking, Jaxson Hayes contributed well off the bench. The backup center was called to step up as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-anthony-davis-los-angeles-minnesota-timberwolves-eye-injury">Anthony Davis exited the game</a> with an eye injury late in the first quarter.</p><p>Hayes tallied 19 points on an efficient 8-of-9 (88.9%) field goal percentage. The high-flying center also hauled down 10 rebounds to finish his night with a double-double. After the game, D’Angelo Russell made an offseason prediction that was <a href="https://twitter.com/LakersNation/status/1777193066635592067" rel="noopener">nothing less of a compliment</a> for his teammate.</p><p>“He’s been amazing,” Russell said, in reference to Hayes. “He’s gonna make a lot of money this summer…Kudos to him, he’s been hanging in there all season.” (per Lakers Nation)</p><h2>Jaxson Hayes can contribute when given the opportunity</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Jaxson-Hayes-shoots-over-Naz-Reid.jpg"><figcaption>Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>This season, Hayes has been averaging 4.3 points and 3.0 rebounds per game for the Lakers. While these aren’t head-turning numbers, it can be noted that the big man’s minutes have been limited so far (16.3 minutes per game). In addition, the stats increase whenever Hayes is given a lot of playing time. Just look at two instances where he was on the floor for no less than 30 minutes each. During LA’s February 27 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, Hayes put up 14 points and seven rebounds. Back on February 1, the center finished with a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds in a win against the Lakers’ longtime rivals, the Boston Celtics.</p><p>And even during games with constrained playing time, the numbers don’t show Hayes’ impact on the floor. To understand what Jaxson Hayes brings to the Lakers, one has to watch the games in order to witness the big man’s energy and hustle.</p><h2>The Lakers’ last few games will be crucial</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/LeBron-James-low-fives-Anthony-Davis.jpg"><figcaption>Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Going back to the topic of LA being shorthanded, the team will surely need more of Hayes’ contributions moving forward. Besides <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-lebron-james-gets-shocking-injury-update-timberwolves">an ill LeBron James</a> and Anthony Davis’ eye problem, the Lakers have yet to see the return of Jarred Vanderbilt and Gabe Vincent, both of whom are recovering from injuries. In addition, Christian Wood recently underwent arthroscopic surgery on his knee, prompting Darvin Ham to use Hayes as the team’s go-to backup five.</p><p>As the playoffs loom ever closer, the sixth to 10th seeds in the West are all clustered up in a tight battle. The Lakers (45-34) sit in ninth place, sandwiched between the eighth-seeded Sacramento Kings (45-33) and the 10th-seeded Golden State Warriors (43-35). Ahead of the Kings are the New Orleans Pelicans and the Phoenix Suns (46-32 each).</p><p>LA has three games remaining…and two of those are duels against the Warriors and the Pelicans. In other words, the next seven days will be crucial in determining where the Lakers will stand once the postseason ensues.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Oftentimes, fans just forget that the star up to the last guy on the bench with a two-way contract could definitely take a crowd’s breath away if they displayed their full talent. Jaxson Hayes reminded everyone exactly of that fact. More than helping the LeBron James and Anthony Davis-led Los Angeles Lakers triumph over the Toronto Raptors, he showcased the single greatest act of athleticism an NBA player can pull off.</p><p>Jaxson Hayes went full 1994 Isaiah Rider during their<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-lebron-james-anthony-davis-injury-updates-raptors-game"> game against the Raptors.</a> The Lakers big man put the ball between his legs before punching it straight to the basket. If fans don’t know what this is called, it’s the East Bay Funk Dunk. The move was pulled out during the 1994 NBA Slam Dunk contest and had everyone losing their minds despite having seen the same thing about 10 years earlier with Orlando Woolridge. This move is truly a timeless feat of greatness, to do it in-game makes it even more insane.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">JAXSON HAYES BETWEEN THE LEGS DUNK 😱</p><p>And the Lakers bench was loving it!<a href="https://t.co/E0CXJe910U">pic.twitter.com/E0CXJe910U</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1775330487122170069?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 3, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Apparently, this is not even the first time Jaxson Hayes did it in an organized <a href="https://twitter.com/LakersReporter/status/1775340209569243281">basketball setting</a>, per Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet. It explains why he was not impressed by the dunk despite the Lakers’ bench and crowd going bananas. He stated that his height at seven-foot and seven-foot-five wingspan mixed with his hops made the job easy.</p><p>Another concern was how hard he fell during this clash against the Raptors. He hit the ground hard but claimed that he was fine. The Lakers center attributed his durability to previously being a football player.</p><h2><b>Hayes’ dunk gets some love from the Lakers’ star big man</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Los-Angeles-Lakers-center-Jaxson-Hayes-11.jpg"><figcaption>© Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>One person who was surely pumped up because of the win and dunk was Anthony Davis. The Brow loved seeing his fellow big man get up high while doing some acrobatics <a href="https://twitter.com/LakersNation/status/1775341332661494121" rel="noopener">with the ball</a>, via Lakers Nation.</p><p>“It’s Jaxson Hayes. Very athletic. He showed off his athletic ability tonight. It was fun. All of us got excited for that dunk, even the coaches,” Anthony Davis declared.</p><p>This was not the only thing Hayes did for the LeBron James-led Lakers. Coach Darvin Ham allowed him to play 19 minutes and he milked every second of it. He ended up with seven points and seven rebounds. His playmaking chops were also on display as he managed to drop two assists.</p><h2><b>Lakers trample the Raptors</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/LeBron-James-shooting.jpg"><figcaption>Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Only six games remain <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-power-rankings-week-24-mavericks-lakers-surging-before-playoffs">in the Lakers’ regular season campaign</a>. They are making an effort to climb the standings and get into a better position to escape the play-in race with teams like the Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings, and Phoenix Suns also doing the same. So, this game against the Raptors was a must-win.</p><p>Everyone had their roles which meant the Lakers worked like a well-oiled machine. D’Angelo Russell went nine for 17 on his field goal attempts to lead them in scoring with 25 points. The Brow took charge of the boards and grabbed 12 of them while getting 21 points. LeBron James was the top facilitator with nine dimes and 23 points to round out the leaders.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Aspiring Shane Falco.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Los Angeles Lakers (3-3) will be without another rotation player for their visit to South Beach. On Monday morning, the <a href="https://twitter.com/michaelcorvoNBA/status/1721586216213307888" rel="noopener">team ruled out</a> center Jaxson Hayes for the Miami Heat matchup due to a left ankle sprain.</p><p>Hayes was initially listed as questionable on Sunday before being downgraded.</p><p>The Lakers have already seen a handful of key pieces land on the injury report as they strive to build early-season chemistry. Rui Hachimura has missed the past three games and is day-to-day as he remains in concussion protocol. Jarred Vanderbilt (heel bursitis) hasn’t advanced past stationary drills. Gabe Vincent (left knee effusion) will be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/los-angeles-lakers-gabe-vincent-two-weeks-knee-injury" rel="noopener">re-evaluated</a> in about two weeks.</p><p>Prior to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/los-angeles-lakers-darvin-ham-orlando-magic-lebron-james-anthony-davis" rel="noopener">Saturday’s loss</a> to the Orlando Magic, Darvin Ham said Vanderbilt and Vincent would return “later rather than sooner.”</p><p>Fortunately, Taurean Prince — who missed the previous two ballgames with knee soreness — is off the injury report and presumably slated to play in Miami.</p><p>Rookie point guard Jalen Hood-Schifino (right patella contusion) is out, as well. There’s no timetable for his return.</p><p>Hayes is averaging 1.5 points and 1.7 rebounds in 9.2 minutes per game. The shorthanded Lakers have recently experimented with three-big lineups featuring Hayes, Anthony Davis, and Christian Wood. In Wednesday’s overtime win vs. the Los Angeles Clippers, the three-big combo ignited a 15-5 third-quarter run that turned the game in the Lakers’ favor. (The tactic was unsuccessful in the first half in Orlando.)</p><p>Ham will provide a more detailed update on Hayes’ status prior to the Heat tip-off. In the meantime, the Lakers will roll with Davis and Wood at center — and possibly sprinkle in some LeBron James at the 5.</p><p>Two-way rookie Colin Castleton is the other true center on the Lakers’ roster.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

At 7’0″, Hayes boasts a unique combination of size and athleticism, as clearly demonstrated in the highlights against poor Robin Lopez. A limited offensive skillset as well as some questions on defense have limited the impact that Hayes has been able to make at the professional level so far; however, the Lakers will certainly be happy to have him coming off of their bench in 2023-24.</p><p>Hayes is among several solid additions that the Lakers made during free agency this year, including Gabe Vincent, Taurean Prince, Cam Reddish, Christian Wood, and others. While Hayes does not figure to necessarily be a key part of the Los Angeles rotation, he’s still a solid young piece coming off of the bench that can step in and provide high energy minutes on what is generally an older roster.</p><p>The Lakers will tip things off for real on October 24 against the Denver Nuggets.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
