Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Ruled out Friday
Ayton (knee) will not play Friday against the Pacers.
Ayton left Thursday's game against Denver due to left knee soreness and was unable to return. The severity of the issue isn't known, but it's not a surprise to see the team exercise caution. Jarred Vanderbilt and Jaxson Hayes could see a bump in minutes with this news.

Ayton went to the locker room during the second quarter of Thursday's game against the Nuggets for an undisclosed reason, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.
It's not clear whether Ayton picked up an injury, but he wasn't sitting on the bench in the final few minutes of the first half. He can be considered questionable to return until more information surfaces.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Dealing with knee soreness
Ayton left Thursday's game against Denver due to left knee soreness, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Picks up knee injury
Ayton won't return to Thursday's game against Denver due to a knee injury, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports. He'll end the night with two rebounds in five minutes.
The severity of Ayton's injury is unclear at this time. Jaxson Hayes started the second half in Ayton's place and will presumably be leaned on heavily during the final two periods of play.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Rights ship Tuesday
Ayton finished Tuesday's 110-101 victory over New Orleans with 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 25 minutes.
Ayton's recent struggles have become well-documented, but he put together a solid stat line Tuesday. The veteran big man has averaged 7.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 21.3 minutes per game over his past four outings, though he remains locked into a starting role at center for the Lakers.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Ineffective in narrow loss
Ayton recorded two points (1-3 FG), four rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 loss to the Suns.
Ayton finished with his lowest point total of the season during the loss and suffered through one of his lowest rebound totals of the season. Jaxson Hayes proved to be the better option under the basket against the Suns, and he could be in line for more time now that his ankle injury has healed. Although most of the Lakers' first unit is set, the center position will remain a point of concern.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Double-double in Tuesday's loss
Ayton chipped in 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 110-109 loss to Orlando.
The double-double was his 18th of the season, but his first in February as he tries to get past a nagging knee issue. Through seven appearances on the month, Ayton is averaging just 10.6 points, 8.0 boards, 0.9 assists and 1.2 combined blocks and steals in 27.7 minutes a contest, but Tuesday's performance is an encouraging sign that he could be close to 100 percent healthy.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Will play Friday
Ayton (knee) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Ayton missed a pair of games before the All-Star break due to knee soreness, but after a few days off, he's been cleared to return. He'll presumably slot back into the starting five Friday, which would bump Jaxson Hayes back to the bench.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Considered day-to-day
Ayton (knee), who has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Dallas, is being considered day-to-day, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
All signs point to Ayton being cleared for a return after the All-Star break. The big man was sent for imaging to rule out a significant injury, and the results came back clean, per Dan Woike of The Athletic. Ayton will have just over another week to recover and rehab before the Lakers face off against the Clippers on Feb. 20.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Won't play Thursday
Ayton won't play in Thursday's game against Dallas due to right knee soreness, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Given the nature of the issue, it's fair to anticipate Ayton being able to return right away once the Lakers return from the All-Star break. Jaxson Hayes and Maxi Kleber are primed to split the center minutes Thursday, with the former being the more appealing fantasy option of the two.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Questionable for Thursday
Ayton (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Dallas.
Ayton sat out Tuesday's loss to the Spurs and could miss a second consecutive contest ahead of the All-Star break due to right knee soreness. If the big man is unable to play Thursday, Jaxson Hayes would likely get the starting nod, while Maxi Kleber and Drew Timme would be candidates for increased playing time off the bench.

Ayton started and played 29 minutes in the opening leg of the Lakers' back-to-back set Monday. He's at risk of missing the closing end of the two-game set due to a lingering knee injury. If he doesn't play Tuesday, Jaxson Hayes, Maxi Kleber and Drew Timme would see an increase in playing time.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Good to go Monday

Ayton (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Thunder, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com report.
Ayton was a late scratch for Saturday's game against the Warriors due to right knee soreness. It appears the veteran center will play Monday, though he could be held out for the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back set Tuesday against the Spurs.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Day-to-day moving forward
Ayton (knee) will be day-to-day moving forward, head coach JJ Redick told Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com following Saturday's win over the Warriors.
Ayton was ruled out of Saturday's contest due to right knee soreness, and it's unclear whether the big man will miss more time. For now, he should be considered questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder. If he's unable to play, Jaxson Hayes should remain in the starting unit.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Late addition to injury report
Ayton has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors due to right knee soreness, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Ayton was an extremely late addition to the injury report due to the knee issue, and his next opportunity to play will come Monday against the Thunder. With the big man sidelined, Jaxson Hayes will get the starting nod, while Drew Timme and Maxi Kleber are candidates for increased burn off the bench.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Double-doubles in win
Ayton supplied 28 points (12-14 FG, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 142-111 win over the Wizards.
Ayton was effective on both ends of the floor in this one, stuffing the stat sheet in the blowout victory. After averaging just 6.6 points per game in his previous five outings, the big man finished one point shy of tying his season high, reaching the 20-point mark for the second time this month. He also led all players in rebounds, securing his 17th double-double of the season. Additionally, Ayton swatted a game-high three shots and has now recorded at least one block in six straight games.

Lakers' Deandre Ayton: Miled effort in loss
Ayton provided 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 129-99 loss to the Cavaliers.
Ayton continues to trend in the wrong direction for the Lakers. Over his last seven outings, he's seen 23.6 minutes per game with 10.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocks on 55.4 percent shooting from the field. Jaxson Hayes and Jarred Vanderbilt don't appear to be serious threats to his starting job for now, however.
