The Lakers are facing a ban from the NBA, forcing management to trade a new center

The Lakers have been in trouble again recently, according to ESPN reporter Dave McMenamin, the latest video of Lakers center Hayes arguing with girlfriend Sophia Jamora has been released, and the NBA will reopen the investigation into Hayes's domestic violence incident in 2021.

At that time, Hayes and Jamora got into an argument, and Hayes dragged him out of the door. In the video, Jamora said: "I'm not going to let you hit me again, do I look like a punching bag? ”

Hayes then stepped aside and spat at the other. Eventually, Hayes returns to the house and angrily knocks over some of the furniture. Photographs after the incident show Jamora with bruises on his legs and arms.

After receiving the alarm, the police rushed to the scene to arrest Hayes. During this time, Hayes pushed and shoved a police officer, and was subsequently electrocuted and arrested by the police, which is where Hays's "Electric Shock Kid" title comes from. Hayes initially faced 12 charges and was eventually sentenced to three years of probation, 450 hours of community service and domestic violence classes.

The NBA didn't punish Hayes at the time, and three years later, Hayes now faces new charges. Mr. Jamora's lawyer said Mr. Hayes's lawyer had met with the officers who were assaulted in advance and had privately offered some monetary compensation.

Hayes signed a two-year, $4.6 million contract with the Lakers in 2023. This season, Hayes is averaging 15.7 minutes per game, contributing five points and 4.2 rebounds.

Redick today spoke about the NBA's reopening of its investigation into the 2021 Hayes family dispute: "We obviously know that the investigation has been reopened, and we will fully cooperate. But other than that, I won't make any other comments about it. ”

The NBA has a zero-tolerance attitude towards incidents that violate social order and good customs, and if Hayes faces a domestic violence lawsuit again, he will basically be banned and punished by the NBA.

If the Lakers don't have Hayes, the interior will be stretched thin again. Everyone knows that the Lakers lack a quality center, and this time it wasn't the Lakers fans who forced Pelinka to find a new center, even the Los Angeles Police Department forced him to find it.

NBA reporter Jake Fischer revealed on a podcast that the Lakers' top goal remains to add a center, and a former Lakers player is also on the radar in the process of interested Jazz center Kessler. This past summer, the Lakers were interested in Da Luo. The 36-year-old is on a contract expiring at 23 million this year, and the Lakers could theoretically package a trade with Russell's expiring contract, plus Schifino, a draft pick, and additions like Hayes.

I think it's too much to pay, 23 million is too expensive, it's not worth it.

Another centre-forward, Wood, is back in the air. Today, the Lakers players stayed in Toronto for practice, and Vanderbilt began to practice with the ball. On October 18, Beijing time, the Lakers said that Vanderbilt would need to be out for at least two weeks. A day earlier, Redick said Vanderbilt still has discomfort in his foot and will need another 1-2 weeks to wait for an injury update.

This......

Another "fraudster".

After today's practice, Redick sat with James and studied the game footage.

Lakers reporter Dave said that Reaves, who has an ankle injury, participated in the team's training session in Toronto today, after which he wrapped a thick ice cube around his ankle.

However, Reaves said after the last win over the Raptors that he would emulate James and play the full 82 regular season games this season. And Xiaoli is also an iron man of the Lakers, these soreness and stuff are not a problem at all, and he should be able to play tomorrow against the Pistons.

It is known that the Lakers did not exercise the team option worth $4 million for Schifino next season, and he will leave the Lakers at the end of this season. NBA reporter Jake Fischer said that in addition to the Hawks and Jazz, the Nets are also interested in Schifino. Good fellow, Schifino is now a sweetheart.
