Lakers lose Jaxson Hayes for the most "Bizarre" reason: Here’s what happened
Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes faces a one-game suspension without pay for shoving the Washington Wizards mascot, G-Wiz, during pre-game introductions. The NBA deemed the interaction excessively physical, a rare move for player-mascot antics. Hayes, a valuable bench player, will miss a key matchup, though the mascot was unharmed. He's still set to participate in the Slam Dunk Contest.
