Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Questionable for Christmas Day

Hayes (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Rockets, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Hayes left Tuesday's game against Phoenix with a sore left ankle, and the issue remains a problem ahead of Thursday's matchup with Houston. If he can't play Thursday, Maxi Kleber and Jarred Vanderbilt would handle most of the backup center minutes behind Deandre Ayton.
