Deandre Ayton Injury: Remains in locker room

Ayton did not start the second half of Tuesday's game against the Nuggets due to an apparent facial injury, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Ayton appeared to take a hit to the face in the second quarter and has yet to leave the locker room. If the big man is unable to return, Jaxson Hayes and Drew Timme are candidates for increased burn the rest of the way.
