Jaxson Hayes Becomes Slovenian Citizen

Jaxson Hayes is now a full Slovenian citizen, eyeing a future playing alongside Luka Doncic on the national team — a move that makes perfect sense given their strong bond since Hayes joined the Lakers. Though he won’t suit up for Slovenia in this summer’s FIBA World Cup qualifiers (as Doncic is also sitting this one out for family time), expect him to be a key figure for Slovenia in major tournaments starting next summer, including the FIBA World Cup, EuroBasket, and the 2028 Olympics. Meanwhile, Hayes is also focused on staying with the Lakers, where he’s a free agent but clearly wants to return for a fourth season — coming off what many consider his best year with the team and poised to be a solid backup center.
