Lakers make key center decision vs. Celtics

The Los Angeles Lakers will not have the services of big man Jaxson Hayes for Saturday night’s huge matchup in Beantown against the Boston Celtics. Instead, it will be Jarred Vanderbilt, who will start for LA as center against the reigning NBA champions on the road, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN.
“Jarred Vanderbilt is starting at center tonight for the Lakers, the team says,” posted McMenamin on X (formerly Twitter).
Hayes’ absence is not a completely surprising development for the Lakers, who are coming off a 113-109 overtime win over the New York Knicks last Thursday. They had Hayes listed as doubtful before he got ruled out.
More to come.
