Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish available, Jaxson Hayes out vs. Spurs

The Lakers' injury list has grown, with Jaxson Hayes listed as doubtful and Cam Reddish and Dalton Knecht listed as questionable to play versus the Spurs.

UPDATE: The Lakers have provided us with an injury report update. Jaxson Hayes is officially out against the Spurs on Wednesday due to the right ankle contusion he suffered in Tuesday’s game against the Suns.

Both Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish were questionable earlier in the day but have now been officially ruled as available for this road game in San Antonio.

Knecht is dealing with a right quad contusion and Reddish has some left ankle soreness.

Los Angeles is currently on a three-game losing streak and hoping to avoid dropping their fourth straight game.

Original story follows.

Things could have hardly gone worse for the Lakers on Tuesday. In the final minutes of a blowout loss to the Suns, the first loss the team has suffered in the NBA Cup, Jaxson Hayes went down with an apparent foot injury following a dunk.

Hayes had only just returned to the lineup after missing multiple weeks with a sprained ankle.

It was a fairly innocuous play that led to the injury. After a pass from Cam Reddish found Hayes open under the basket, the big man jumped for the dunk and immediately screamed out in pain.

While he finished the play, he immediately crumpled to the ground in pain. He would eventually need to be helped off the floor and straight to the locker room.

After the game, the Lakers announced that Hayes had reaggravated the right ankle sprain that he had initially injured. The team would provide an update on his status ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Spurs.

There was no landing on the foot of a player or the ankle twisting. In reality, it was hard to see anything that would have led to the injury. However, if it’s a reaggravation of the injury, it’s hard to imagine he’ll be back on the court anytime soon.

As of now, there is no indication of how long exactly he’ll be out. The Lakers survived his absence in November thanks to solid play from Christian Koloko.

However, can they afford to do that again ahead of arguably their toughest month of the season? It’s a tough situation for the Lakers and Hayes both.
