Iffy for Saturday Vanderbilt is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to left foot injury management, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Vanderbilt is one of several Lakers who are questionable for Sunday's contest, but a decision on his status will likely be made closer to the 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

Sitting out Thursday Vanderbilt (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Vanderbilt evidently picked up a groin injury during Wednesday's game against the Nuggets and will be held out of Thursday's matchup as a result. Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) has also been ruled out, so it'll be up to Cam Reddish, Trey Jemison and Alex Len to pick up the slack in the frontcourt.

Retreating to bench vs. Phoenix Vanderbilt will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Suns, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Dorian Finney-Smith will return from a one-game absence, pushing Vanderbilt to the second unit. Over his last 10 outings (two starts), the 25-year-old has averaged 6.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals across 19.6 minutes per contest.

Moving to starting role Friday Vanderbilt is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Lakers will be very shorthanded due to rest and injuries for this game, so Vanderbilt will be part of the starting unit. He's made just one start this season -- it came on a 111-101 loss to Boston on March 8, where he posted four points, eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 29 minutes.

MARCH 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Monday Vanderbilt is not in the Lakers' starting lineup against the Nets on Monday, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Impact Vanderbilt started in Saturday's loss against the Celtics. He will retreat to the bench Monday while the Lakers go with a starting five of Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Gabe Vincent, Dalton Knecht and Alex Len.

MARCH 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs eight rebounds in loss Vanderbilt finished Saturday's 111-101 loss to the Celtics with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 29 minutes.

Impact Vanderbilt logged his first start of the season as the team continued to tinker with the frontcourt depth chart. If there ever was a moment for Vanderbilt to show his worth after languishing on the bench for two full seasons with the Lakers, now would be the time. The backcourt still doesn't have a consistent solution for Anthony Davis' missed production, and Saturday's injury to LeBron James (groin) will add immense pressure for everyone to step up and contribute. Vanderbilt proved during his tenure in Minnesota that he has the skills to be a nightly contributor, but he's struggled to replicate that success.
