Date:

Lazar Hayward is expected to play on Thursday after dealing with an illness.

He may not even get on the floor, but if he does, he won't get enough minutes to matter to fantasy owners.

Lazar Hayward (illness) is available to face the Spurs on Sunday.

Jan 13 - 6:29 PM

Lazar Hayward (illness) will not practice on Saturday.

He's getting over his illness and could be ready to face the Spurs on Sunday. The Wolves signed Hayward to a 10-day contract and there's a good chance he might be cut loose after that period with Ricky Rubio starting to feel better.

Jan 8 - 5:56 PM

The Timberwolves will re-sign Lazar Hayward to a 10-day deal if he clears waivers.

The team just didn't want to guarantee his contract for the season and that's the biggest reason they released him a couple of days ago.
Jan 8 - 12:30 PM

Timberwolves waive F Lazar Hayward.

Hayward signed on December 31 with the team and played a total of 12 minutes and scored just two points. He's a candidate to be signed on a 10-day contract by another team and obviously is nowhere to be found on the fantasy map.
