Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick has confirmed the group are conscious of the NBA’s home disturbance investigation into Jaxson Hayes.
The league’s investigation into Hayes surrounds a video from 2021 that has surfaced, displaying an altercation between him and his former girlfriend.
The sufferer, Sofia Jamora, seems to be dealt with by Hayes earlier than saying, “I’m not going to allow you to hit me anymore, what the fuck do I seem like? A punching bag?”
Hayes, 24, spits on Jamora earlier than the police have been referred to as to their location – the place the participant struggled with officers and was tased twice as they eliminated him from the house.

Redick addressed the incident to reporters on Sunday with a traditional firm line:
“We’re clearly conscious that the investigation has been reopened and we’re going to cooperate absolutely. However aside from that, I’m not going to have one other touch upon that.”
Hayes is within the closing 12 months of his two-year, $4.6 million take care of the Lakers and he performed as lately as Friday – scoring 4 factors in opposition to the Toronto Raptors.
Mike Bass, a spokesperson for the league, informed ESPN:
“On account of the media report and video posted this morning, we’re reopening our investigation.”
TMZ posted over 5 minutes of safety footage from three years in the past involving the 7ft large man, which is stamped as July 28, 2021, throughout Hayes’ time with the New Orleans Pelicans.
The NBA’s stance on home violence has been shockingly lenient and following the likes of Kevin Porter Jr and Miles Bridges, it might be no shock to see Hayes return to the ground tonight.
