When the Suns face the Clippers on Saturday, Deandre Ayton will remain sidelined for a second consecutive game due to a sore right elbow. In his absence, Jaxson Hayes, who started against the Jazz, is expected to share frontcourt responsibilities with Jarred Vanderbilt. With the presence of Ivica Zubac in the Clippers lineup, there is potential for Hayes to see an increase in playing time compared to his 22 minutes on Thursday.
