Jarred Vanderbilt News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Remains out Vanderbilt (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Pelicans.

Impact Vanderbilt's defensive efforts were a key part of the Lakers' run to the Western Conference Finals last season. However, he has been unavailable for most of 2023-24, playing just 29 regular-season games (six appearances). Vanderbilt hasn't played since Feb. 1, so his continued absence shouldn't impact coach Darvin Ham's rotation.

Out again Sunday Vanderbilt (foot) will not play Sunday against the Pelicans, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact Vanderbilt has been sidelined since early February due to a mid-foot sprain, but recent reports have suggested that he's getting closer to a return. There will likely be an update on his progress after the weekend.

Will remain sidelined Friday Vanderbilt (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Memphis.

Impact Vanderbilt has been sidelined since early February due to a mid-foot sprain, but he's been trending toward a return in recent days. He's scheduled to have his injury re-evaluated soon, but it seems relatively unlikely that he'll be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against New Orleans. However, it's possible Vanderbilt is back in action sometime during the postseason.

Remains out Tuesday Vanderbilt (foot) will be inactive Tuesday versus Golden State, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact Vanderbilt's midfoot sprain is expected to be re-evaluated in coming days, but no formal update on his return to action has been released yet. Vanderbilt had "not been cleared for any contact drills," as of Friday, per Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com, but he was seen doing on-court shooting work prior to Wednesday's victory over Washington. His next opportunity to take the court comes Friday versus Memphis, with the Lakers' regular-season finale following Sunday versus New Orleans.

Will be evaluated next week Coach Darvin Ham said Wednesday that Vanderbilt (foot) will be re-evaluated next week, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact Vanderbilt hasn't played since Feb. 1 due to a mid-foot sprain, but he's nearing his return ahead of the Play-In Tournament. The forward's defensive contributions during last season's playoffs were key to the Lakers' run to the Western Conference Finals, but if cleared, he'll likely garner a minor role off the bench this postseason.

APRIL 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Vanderbilt (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Impact Vanderbilt has been ramping up his conditioning, but it's unclear when he'll be cleared to play again. His last appearance was Feb. 1, so even if he gets the green light soon, he'll presumably be limited for at least a few games.

APRIL 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Vanderbilt (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Vanderbilt hasn't played since Feb. 1 due to a right mid-foot sprain. However, he's ramping up his conditioning and nearing a return to game action. Vanderbilt's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Washington.

APRIL 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gradually ramping up Vanderbilt (foot) is progressing on a return-to-play plan, but he has not been cleared for contact yet, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Vanderbilt suffered a right mid-foot sprain nearly two months ago, so to only commence running as of Tuesday does not implicate an imminent return. That being said, Vanderbilt continuing to heal and progress without a setback is a good sign for the 24-year-old. His recovery is reportedly on schedule, per coach Darvin Ham, although no return date was estimated.

MARCH 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Vanderbilt (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bucks and remains sidelined indefinitely.

Impact Vanderbilt hasn't played since Feb. 3 due to a right mid-foot sprain. As of mid-March, he wasn't cleared for on-court activities, and the team hasn't provided a recent update, so Vanderbilt can be considered week-to-week at this point.

No on-court activity yet Vanderbilt (foot) is progressing in his rehab, but he has not been cleared for on-court activities as of Tuesday, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Vanderbilt will certainly be sidelined for Wednesday's game against Sacramento and he is likely to miss future contests as his gradual ramp-up continues. The fact that there have been no setbacks in his recovery and that the 24-year-old continues gearing up to return this season are both good signs, however. In his absence, Rui Hachimura has remained planted in the starting lineup with Taurean Prince representing an underwhelming platoon partner. Cam Reddish (ankle) is nearing a return to action in the wing rotation as well.

Impact Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported Saturday that Vanderbilt would be out several weeks at a minimum, if not the rest of the season, so the forward's absence could extend past the Lakers' initial timeline. In Vanderbilt's absence, Rui Hachimura, Jaxson Hayes, Taurean Prince and Christian Wood are candidates for increased minutes, but Los Angeles will also be involved in talks ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, so the rotation could change drastically.

Impact Wojnarowski said Vanderbilt's injury is "significant" and will keep him out a minimum of several weeks, if not the entire season. There should be more clarity in the coming days, but Vanderbilt's fantasy managers can continue to explore alternatives. Rui Hachimura, Jaxson Hayes, Christian Wood and Taurean Prince are all candidates to see more opportunities going forward.
