Deandre Ayton posted a notable double-double with 13 points and 13 rebounds in the Lakers’ recent loss to the Kings, highlighting a strong performance amid the team’s defensive struggle. This marks Ayton’s 14th double-double this season, compared to 20 last season. Jaxson Hayes also contributed with 12 points off the bench. With LeBron James potentially sidelined for the upcoming game against the Hawks, Ayton and Hayes may see increased offensive roles.
