Lakers' Jaxson Hayes has been suspended 1 game for pushing Wizards mascot
'G-Wiz'
Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes received a one-game suspension on
Wednesday for pushing the Washington Wizards' mascot before a game last week.
Hayes pushed the mascot "G-Wiz" during pre-game introductions ahead of the
Lakers' 142-111 win on Friday.
Hayes had 10 points, three rebounds, an assist and a steal off the bench. He
will serve the suspension on Feb. 5 when the Lakers host the Philadelphia
76ers, according to a statement from the NBA.
Hayes was drafted by Atlanta in the first round of the 2019 draft, but his
rights were immediately traded over to New Orleans. He spent his first four
seasons with the Pelicans before joining the Lakers in 2023.
