Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (ankle) left Tuesday's loss to the Phoenix Suns early due to left ankle soreness, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports. The big man logged only five minutes off the bench, scoring two points and grabbing one rebound. Hayes was back in the second unit due to Deandre Ayton's return to the lineup. Ayton collected a 12-point, 10-rebound double-double on Tuesday while snagging three steals. If Hayes misses time, Maxi Kleber is likely to receive more opportunities to play, but he doesn't hold any fantasy value.

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (leg) was injured during Tuesday's tilt against the Atlanta Hawks, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. He appeared to injure his leg when he stepped on Hawks forward Asa Newell's foot and was subbed out with 6:42 remaining in the fourth quarter. Buzelis went straight to the locker room. Buzelis soon returned to the bench but didn't re-enter the contest. The Chicago native finished a 126-123 victory with 15 points, two rebounds, and two blocks in 18 minutes. Patrick Williams, who saw only six minutes of action on Tuesday, may receive the largest bump in playing time if Buzelis has to exit the lineup.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (calf) played only five minutes in Tuesday's 111-94 win over the Indiana Pacers. He sustained a left calf contusion late in the first quarter. Ryan Rollins and Gary Harris shared Trent Jr.'s minutes on the night, with the former finishing as Milwaukee's second-highest scorer. Rollins posted 23 points on 10-for-15 shooting. Harris contributed only five points and should be ignored by fantasy managers even if Trent Jr. faces a spell on the sidelines.

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (calf) missed the second half of Tuesday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. Murray had two points and two blocks in 20 minutes during the first half of action but didn't return for the second due to a right calf injury. Rookies Nique Clifford and Dylan Cardwell helped to fill the void in the rotation, with Clifford starting the second half. Both may see increased playing time going forward if Murray is forced to miss time, especially with Zach LaVine (ankle) out for at least another week. The Kings will return to action this weekend with a back-to-back set.
