Deandre Ayton Questionable for Thursday with Right Knee Soreness

Deandre Ayton (right knee soreness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Dallas, potentially missing his second consecutive contest before the All-Star break. He sat out Tuesday's loss to the Spurs. If Ayton is sidelined, Jaxson Hayes is the likely starter, with Maxi Kleber and Drew Timme candidates for increased minutes off the bench for the Los Angeles Lakers.
