Hayes won't return to Tuesday's game against the Suns due to left ankle soreness, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports. He'll finish with two points (2-2 FT) and one rebound across five minutes off the bench.

EDGE Analysis

Hayes moved back to a bench role after starting the Lakers' previous two games, and he played limited minutes before exiting the contest due to the ankle issue. His next opportunity to suit up will come Thursday against the Rockets.
