Jarred Vanderbilt Latest News
Out vs. Wizards
Vanderbilt (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Washington, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports. Vanderbilt has bounced between LA's G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers, and the NBA club over the last few weeks to get extra work in, but he's not yet ready to return. His next chance to do so will arrive Thursday against Boston.
Recalled by Los Angeles
Los Angeles recalled Vanderbilt (foot) from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Sunday. Vanderbilt was getting some extra practice reps in South Bay as he continues to progress towards a return. He's been working his way back from May surgeries to address a right midfoot sprain and a bone spur in his left foot, and he's likely to have heavy restrictions once he gets the green light to return.
Won't return this week
Head coach JJ Redick said Monday that Vanderbilt (foot) won't return to the lineup this week, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. While Redick notes Vanderbilt is progressing well and getting closer to returning from foot surgery, the forward will not be available until sometime next week at the earliest. Until the 25-year-old is ready to rejoin Los Angeles' rotation, Dorian Finney-Smith and Max Christie should continue occupying significant roles for the Lakers.
Returns from G League stint
The Lakers recalled Vanderbilt (foot) from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Friday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports. Vanderbilt will rejoin the Lakers after going through practice with South Bay earlier Friday. The 25-year-old big man has yet to play this season while recovering from offseason surgeries on both of his feet but is progressing in his recovery. The 25-year-old forward is set to be re-evaluated next week before the Lakers determine his next steps.
Assigned to G League
The Lakers assigned Vanderbilt (foot) to the G League's South Bay Lakers on Friday, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. South Bay will hold practice before the parent club, allowing Vanderbilt to get in some extra on-court work. The 25-year-old began non-contact work in late December, and he hasn't seen game action since last February due to injuries -- and offseason surgeries -- to both feet. Vanderbilt is slated to be re-evaluated early next week before the Lakers determine his next steps.
Continues ramping up
Vanderbilt (foot) participated in 5-on-5 practice Monday and will be re-evaluated in one week, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. After starting non-contact work in late December, Vanderbilt is ramping up his activity after undergoing right foot surgery this past offseason. His next step is to play against teammates in practice, and head coach JJ Redick said the Lakers will have another update soon. Until Vanderbilt is ready to return to the floor, players like Cam Reddish and Jaxson Hayes should continue serving as a regular members of Los Angeles' rotation.
Starts non-contact work
Vanderbilt (foot) participated in non-contact work during Monday's practice, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. Vanderbilt is inching closer to returning to the floor and making his season debut. He is finally back at practice, which is a good sign for the Lakers' depth in the frontcourt, but he remains a few hurdles away from game action.
Likely out until January
Vanderbilt isn't expected to make his season debut until early January after developing fluid in his left knee during his rehab program for offseason procedures on both of his feet, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Back on Nov. 20, the Lakers announced that Vanderbilt had hit a snag in his ramp-up program, after he had taken longer than anticipated to recover from the pair of surgeries he underwent in May, one to address a right mid-foot sprain and another to remove a bone spur in his left foot. While Vanderbilt isn't dealing with any foot-related setbacks in the two weeks since that update, the left knee issue will further delay his 2024-25 debut. Vanderbilt was a key player for the Lakers when healthy during the 2023-24 season, averaging 5.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 20.0 minutes.
Out for at least two more weeks
Vanderbilt's (foot) ramp-up process has gone slower than anticipated, and he'll be re-evaluated in a "couple weeks" from Wednesday, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. Vanderbilt underwent surgery on his right foot during the offseason, and his recovery has been slower than expected. He's yet to appear in a game this season and will need at least two weeks more before retaking the hardwood.
