Deandre Ayton, the Lakers’ starting center, suffered a left eye injury during a road game against the Nuggets and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest after initially being listed as questionable. Prior to his exit, Ayton had four points and eight rebounds and has played 37 of 42 games this season, averaging 14.2 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. The Lakers will depend on Jaxson Hayes and Drew Timme to fill the gap as they embark on an eight-game road trip, crucial for improving their standing in the Western Conference. An update on Ayton’s injury status is awaited to determine if he will miss more games.
