Jarred Vanderbilt News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Logs 21 minutes in starting role Vanderbilt totaled six points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-4 FT), eight rebounds and three steals in 21 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Spurs.

Impact Vanderbilt demonstrated the full range of his fantasy game Tuesday, both good and bad. Projecting forward, he should be a solid source of boards and steals but is likely to hurt you in multiple other areas, such as free throw efficiency and scoring. Fantasy managers know what they are getting when drafting him, meaning he should only be taken when suited to a certain build.

Double-double in Game 3 loss Vanderbilt produced 10 points (2-8 FG, 6-8 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and three steals over 32 minutes during Thursday's 104-95 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact After playing only nine minutes in Game 2 and posting poor numbers in Game 1, Vanderbilt bounced back in Game 3 to record his first double-double since March 23. The 23-year-old put up decent numbers during the regular season overall, but he struggled down the stretch, averaging 3.8 points and 6.3 boards in 24.5 minutes over the final six games. Hopefully, for the Timberwolves, who find themselves in a 2-1 hole in the series after blowing a 26-point lead Thursday, Vanderbilt's performance in the loss was a sign he's ready to make a bigger impact.

Minimal output Sunday Vanderbilt finished with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during Sunday's 124-120 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Although Vanderbilt remained in the starting lineup for Sunday's regular-season finale, the Timberwolves leaned on their bench contributors since the team had already clinched a spot in the play-in tournament. He had averaged 6.0 points and 6.4 rebounds in his five appearances leading up to Sunday's matchup, and he figures to see closer to his normal workload in the play-in matchup against the Clippers on Tuesday.

Double-doubles in loss Vanderbilt had 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 125-116 loss to the Suns.

Impact Vanderbilt scored in double figures for the first time since March 5 and grabbed his most rebounds since Feb. 24 en route to his eighth double-double of the campaign. Over his five previous outings, he averaged just 4.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 22.2 minutes per game, but Wednesday's performance may have gotten him back on track offensively.

Cleared to play Saturday Vanderbilt (quadriceps) will play in Saturday's contest against the Bucks, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

Impact Vanderbilt returned from a two-game absence Wednesday and tallied four points and nine rebounds in 25 minutes against the Lakers. He has started each of the past 53 games in which he has played and will likely be in the starting unit again Saturday.

Questionable vs. Milwaukee Vanderbilt (quadriceps) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Vanderbilt returned to the court Wednesday against the Lakers after missing three of the last four games with a bruised quadriceps, and he totaled four points, nine rebounds, an assist and two steals in 25 minutes. If he's unavailable Saturday, Taurean Prince and Naz Reid (back) could see increased playing time.

Limited in return Wednesday Vanderbilt ended with four points (2-4 FG), nine rebounds, one assist and two steals over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 124-104 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Vanderbilt was back on the floor after missing the past two games, walking away with a serviceable, yet unflattering, performance. After a hot start to the season, his production has dropped off over the past month, as he's put up averages of just 5.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.4 blocks per game. Given the need for high productivity right now, managers should view Vanderbilt as nothing more than a streaming option in standard fantasy formats.

Back in starting five Vanderbilt (quadriceps) is starting Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Vanderbilt missed two straight games and three out of the past four with a bruised quadriceps, but he'll return to the lineup for Wednesday's contest. He's averaged 5.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.8 minutes over his past five contests.

Impact Vanderbilt has missed the past two games. His presence carries more weight than ever, as Jaden McDaniels (ankle) has been ruled out for at least two weeks.
