The Los Angeles Lakers further shored up their depth at center by bringing back center Jaxson Hayes, according to ESPN. Hayes' one-year pact with the Lakers was reached on Thursday, the day after news broke that the team will sign Deandre Ayton to a two-year deal.

It's Hayes's third-straight one-year deal with the Lakers, which means he's got an interesting provision in his contract.

The Los Angeles Lakers have a better idea of what its depth at center will look like with Jaxson Hayes expected to return for another season.
