Hayes, 24, underwent an MRI on Friday that revealed the extent of the ankle sprain.
The 7-foot Hayes returned to play on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns after missing the previous two weeks because of an ankle injury. He then re-injured his ankle on a dunk in the final minute of the Lakers' 127-100 loss to the Suns.
Hayes, who sat out the team's next two contests, is averaging 6.4 points and 4.5 rebounds in 11 games (one start) this season.
He is contributing 6.8 points and 3.8 rebounds in 322 career games (53 starts) with the New Orleans Pelicans and Lakers.
