Dominates glass in second half Vanderbilt notched 15 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 17 rebounds, one assist and four steals in 27 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Vanderbilt had a quiet first half with five points on 1-of-2 shooting to go along with five rebounds. The power forward was a force to be reckoned with in the third quarter, however, grabbing eight boards and three steals while knocking down all four of his field-goal attempts for another eight points. He finished the night with a game and season-high 17 rebounds and also led the contest with four steals. It was Vanderbilt's eighth double-double of the season, with his previous one coming back on Jan. 7 against the Bulls.

Plays 28 minutes in start Vanderbilt closed Wednesday's 120-102 victory over the Pelicans with six points (3-3 FG), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes.

Impact This wasn't the most productive fantasy line for Vanderbilt, but the Lakers pulled out the win and he saw plenty of minutes despite the return of LeBron James (ankle). Vanderbilt can put up plenty of rebounds, assists and defensive stats when the minutes are there, so his fantasy managers will be hoping this new role sticks.

Jarred Vanderbilt Shines in Lakers Debut

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Solid line in debut Vanderbilt racked up 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 17 minutes during Saturday's 109-103 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Vanderbilt played only 17 minutes in his debut, but it's reasonable to assume that his minutes will increase once his back spasms are in check. The Lakers acquired Rui Hachimura and Mo Bamba before the trade deadline, so the team has no shortage of frontcourt support, and it will be interesting to see how coach Darvin Ham chooses to implement the influx of talent. Right now, the Lakers are starting Hachimura at the four, thus limiting Vanderbilt's short-term potential.

Not on injury report Vanderbilt (back) is not on the injury report for Saturday's game at Golden State, suggesting he's available to make his Lakers debut, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register repor...

Impact Vanderbilt has healed quickly from the back spasms that popped up right before the trade deadline, and he'll start a new chapter of his NBA career with the revamped Lakers. He figures to compete with Rui Hachimura, Mo Bamba and Wenyen Gabriel for minutes in the frontcourt. The Kentucky product is a rebounding specialist despite being undersized at 6-foot-8, 214 pounds. Fantasy managers should see what his role is like before deciding on whether or not to drop him, since Vanderbilt may continue to play roughly the 24.1 minutes per game he saw in Utah.

FEBRUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Eyeing Saturday debut Vanderbilt (back) won't play in Thursday's game against the Bucks, but he could make his Lakers debut Saturday versus the Warriors, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Impact Vanderbilt was part of a blockbuster deal Wednesday that sent D'Angelo Russell and Malik Beasley with him to Los Angeles, but the trio will have to wait until at least Saturday before playing in their first games for the team. The Lakers added Mo Bamba (suspension) on Thursday and sent out Thomas Bryant, suggesting that Vanderbilt may end up seeing most of his minutes at power forward with the Lakers. Bamba will remain suspended through Saturday's game, so Vanderbilt could slot in as Anthony Davis' primary backup at center for that contest, if available.

Traded to the Lakers Vanderbilt (back) will be dealt to the Lakers as a part of Wednesday's three-team trade between Los Angeles, Minnesota and Utah, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Vanderbilt will add some much-needed depth and defensive versatility to the Lakers' frontcourt, but this is not an ideal fantasy landing spot for him, as he'll now be fighting for minutes with the likes of Anthony Davis, Thomas Bryant and Rui Hachimura. With Vanderbilt leaving Utah, Kelly Olynyk and Walker Kessler will receive the majority of the frontcourt minutes for the Jazz.

Impact Vanderbilt was unavailable Monday against the Mavericks due to back spasms and is questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota. His participation in the team's morning shootaround is encouraging for his status against the Timberwolves, but he's also been mentioned in trade rumors ahead of Thursday's deadline.
