Jarred Vanderbilt News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Questionable Wednesday Vanderbilt (back) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Timberwolves, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Vanderbilt sat out Monday's surprising loss to the Mavericks with back spasms. Amid the back issue is the fact that Vanderbilt's name has been in trade rumors, with the deadline being Thursday. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on both situations.

Ruled out for Monday Vanderbilt (back) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Mavericks.

Impact Vanderbilt wasn't able to practice Sunday due to the back spasms, so it's not all that surprising to see him ruled out for Monday's game, particularly with Utah slated to play six games over the next nine days. Expect more minutes for Walker Kessler, Kelly Olynyk and Rudy Gay on Monday, and for now, Vanderbilt should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Questionable for Monday Vanderbilt (back) is questionable to play Monday against the Mavericks, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact This isn't surprising, as Vanderbilt wasn't able to participate in Sunday's practice due to his back issues, so he'll likely be headed toward a game-time decision Monday night. If he can't give it a go, expect more minutes for Walker Kessler, Kelly Olynyk and Rudy Gay.

Battling back injury Vanderbilt didn't participate in practice Sunday due to lower-back spasms, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact The Jazz have yet to provide Vanderbilt with an official injury designation for Monday's game against the Mavericks, but his absence from practice a day in advance of the contest likely makes him questionable -- at best -- to play. With Kelly Olynyk's recent return from a left ankle sprain bringing the Jazz frontcourt back to full strength, Vanderbilt has been held under 20 minutes in both of his last two appearances off the Utah bench.

Rodman-esque performance Friday Vanderbilt accumulated zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 18 minutes during Friday's 115-108 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Vanderbilt needed just 18 minutes to rip down double-digit boards, marking the second time this season he's reached 10-plus rebounds in fewer than 20 minutes. His involvement in the offense continues to be minimal, as he's scored in double digits just twice in the past 11 games. The soon-to-be 24-year-old is allegedly on the trade block, but fantasy managers shouldn't worry about him seeing much fewer than the 19.9 minutes he's averaged over the past seven games. If you've rostered him this long, there's no reason to speculatively drop him.

Slides to bench Vanderbilt will return to the second unit for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Vanderbilt enjoyed a two-game stint in the starting five with Lauri Markkanen sidelined due to a hip issue. However, with Markkanen back in action, he will come off the bench. In four bench appearances, Vanderbilt has averaged 7.0 points and 7.0 rebounds over 22.1 minutes.

Returns to starting lineup Saturday Vanderbilt ended with eight points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and one block across 25 minutes during Saturday's 118-117 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Vanderbilt shifted back into the starting lineup Saturday after Lauri Markkanen was ruled out with a hip injury. While he did flirt with a double-double, he added very little in terms of defensive numbers. With Kelly Olynyk (ankle) slated to miss at least the next week, Vanderbilt's role is likely to fluctuate. He remains a viable asset in all 12-team leagues, although his limited skill set means he is certainly not an option for everyone.

Starting Saturday Vanderbilt will start in Saturday's game against the 76ers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Vanderbilt has come off the bench in each of his last two appearances but will enter the first unit in the place of Lauri Markkanen (hip). in 39 starts this season, Vanderbilt has averaged 8.6 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 25.0 minutes.

Moves to bench Vanderbilt isn't in the starting lineup with Tuesday's game versus the Cavaliers, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact The Jazz will start Lauri Markkanen and Walker Kessler in the frontcourt, as Malik Beasley will replace Vanderbilt in the starting five. The 23-year-old big man will come off the bench for just the third time this season.

Solid double-double in loss Vanderbilt provided 15 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 126-118 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Vanderbilt matched his season high with 14 rebounds, earning his seventh double-double of the year. His scoring remains inconsistent, but his boards and steals continue to provide fantasy managers with decent value in category leagues. In 40 games played, the 23-year-old forward is averaging 8.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.2 steals per contest.

Flirts with double-double Vanderbilt totaled 14 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 117-115 loss to the Kings.

Impact It's becoming increasingly clear that Kelly Olynyk isn't getting the job done for Utah inside, and a change would have probably been made long ago if Vanderbilt wasn't alongside him picking up the slack. The youngster currently averages eight rebounds per game, and that number has continued to climb throughout the season.

Flops in Saturday's loss Vanderbilt contributed four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 loss to Miami.

Impact Vanderbilt was nowhere to be seen in the loss, managing just 17 minutes after picking up three early fouls. It's certainly been a season full of ups and downs for Vanderbilt, despite the fact he has a regular spot in the starting rotation. He is far from a must-roster player, even though he sits just outside the top 100 in 12-team leagues. His limited skillset means he isn't going to be a viable asset for everyone, and yet he can be ultra-valuable in specific builds.

JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Flirts with double-double Vanderbilt closed with 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 112-107 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Vanderbilt came close to his sixth double-double of the season in the loss. Although his scoring totals can be a little rocky, Vanderbilt has been a consistent source of rebounds as he holds down the frontcourt with Kelly Olynyk. Replacing Rudy Gobert was no easy task for the Jazz, but the players assembled for the rebuild have risen to the challenge and are faring far better than expected.

Much-needed double-double in win Vanderbilt closed with 18 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 126-111 win over Detroit.

Impact Vanderbilt finally got back on track in the win, delivering arguably his best line of the season. Despite starting for the majority of the season, his playing time has hovered at around 25 minutes per night. He has been a top-100 asset thus far, although his value is heavily weighted toward rebounds, steals and field goal percentage. While he remains a must-roster player across most formats, let's see he can springboard off this performance.

Strong double-double Tuesday Vanderbilt logged 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-3 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 121-100 victory over New Orleans.

Impact Vanderbilt was at his dynamic best in the win, turning in arguably his best overall performance of the season. After a rough period over the past few weeks, it was positive to see him out there doing what he does best. Foul issues limited him to just 23 minutes, meaning this could have been an even better night had things gone his way. While his limited skillset does preclude him from having significant fantasy appeal, he remains a 12-team asset for anyone seeking boards and steals.

Back in starting lineup Saturday Vanderbilt racked up six points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three steals over 26 minutes during Saturday's 115-110 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Vanderbilt moved back into the starting lineup Saturday, chalking up a well-balanced yet low-volume performance. Despite being a regular member of the starting lineup, Vanderbilt has been a little disappointing thus far this season. While he is inside the top 100, his value is predominantly tied to rebounds, steals and field-goal percentage. He probably should be rostered in most formats but is clearly not for everyone.

DECEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to starting five Vanderbilt is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Vanderbilt will replace Walker Kessler in the starting five Saturday. He will return to his usual starting spot after coming off the bench in the previous two games.

Posts double-double off bench Vanderbilt supplied 12 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Friday's 118-108 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Vanderbilt came off the bench and had a quiet first half with five points on 2-of-5 shooting to go along with three rebounds. After not scoring in the third quarter, he went 2-of-2 from the field with five points in the final period while also grabbing four of his team-high 10 boards. The Jazz forward recorded a double-double for just the fourth time this season and now has two steals in three of his last five games.

DECEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to bench Wednesday Vanderbilt isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Walker Kessler will replace Vanderbilt in the starting lineup Wednesday. However, this move is temporary, as Jazz coach Will Hardy wants extra size in the lineup with Lauri Markkanen (illness) out.
