Jarred Vanderbilt News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Moving to starting role Vanderbilt is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The Lakers are tweaking their lineup due to the absence of Jaxson Hayes (knee), and Vanderbilt will move into the first unit as his replacement. That said, the Lakers will probably rotate on who plays down low based on matchups. Vanderbilt is averaging 4.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game this season, and this will be his first start of the campaign.

Good to go Saturday Vanderbilt (foot) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Vanderbilt did not play in Thursday's win over the Trail Blazers due to right foot surgery management, but the 2018 second-round pick appears to have been given the green light to play in Saturday's contest. He's averaging 3.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals over 16.1 minutes per game across his 10 outings during the season.

Zero points in win Vanderbilt chipped in zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes during Monday's 132-113 win over Utah.

Impact Vanderbilt usually gets the job done for the Lakers on the defensive side of the floor, which is his strength. The veteran forward didn't make an impact on either end of the floor in Monday's blowout win against the Jazz, as he failed to score and finished with two rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes, making it his worst performance since returning to the lineup for Los Angeles on Jan. 25.

Not listed on injury report Vanderbilt (foot) isn't listed on the Lakers' injury report for Thursday's game against Washington, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Vanderbilt made his season debut Jan. 25 in Golden State and made two appearances, totaling 25 minutes, before he took a seat for Tuesday's loss in Philadelphia, which was the second night of a back-to-back set. His workload will likely continue to be monitored closely, but with Anthony Davis (core) sidelined for at least a week, the Lakers will need as much of Vanderbilt's defensive presence as they can get.

Ruled out Tuesday Vanderbilt (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Vanderbilt has played in two games for the Lakers this season after recovering from surgery on both feet. However, the team is slowly getting him back up to speed. He hasn't played more than 13 minutes in a game yet and will be rested for the second game of a back-to-back Tuesday on the road in Philadelphia.

Makes defensive impact in debut Vanderbilt (feet) recorded two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, three steals and two assists across 12 minutes Saturday in the Lakers' 118-108 win over the Warriors.

Impact Vanderbilt was cleared to make his season debut Saturday, after missing the Lakers' first 42 games while recovering from offseason surgeries on both of his feet. The Lakers will likely to manage Vanderbilt's playing time coming off the pair of surgeries, though he's not expected to clear 20 minutes with much regularity when Los Angeles is at full strength in the frontcourt. His fantasy appeal is mainly limited to deeper leagues for managers looking for aid in the field-goal percentage, steals and rebounds categories.

Impact Vanderbilt will be sidelined for Thursday's game versus Boston, but barring any setbacks in the coming days, he'll be back in the rotation versus Golden State.

Impact Vanderbilt was getting some extra practice reps in South Bay as he continues to progress towards a return.
