The second season on the contract has a team option as well. Hayes spent his last three years with the Lakers, but now he's lined up to compete for the backup center role behind Jusuf Nurkic with Kyle Filipowski next year. Hayes averaged 7.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.8 blocks in 18.3 minutes over 66 regular-season contests in 2025-26.
