Jaxson Hayes will miss one Lakers game without pay after pushing the Wizards mascot during pregame; incident motive remains unclear, NBA confirmed.
- On Wednesday, the NBA announced Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes received a one-game suspension without pay for pushing Washington Wizards mascot G‑Wiz during pregame introductions at Capital One Arena on Jan. 30.
- A video posted by Bleacher Report shows G‑Wiz running across the court and Jaxson Hayes appearing to shove the mascot during pregame introductions ahead of the Lakers' 142-111 win.
- Coming off the bench, Hayes scored 10 points, three rebounds, and an assist in 14 minutes for the Lakers during their recent eight-game trip with a 5-3 record.
- He will serve the suspension on Feb. 5 when the Lakers host the Philadelphia 76ers, and Hayes remains in the Slam Dunk Contest lineup next week.
