0 The Lakers Forward has been out of play since February 1st, with some sort of fluid buildup in his left knee during the injury rehab. So the team made the executive decision to hold off his return to the court to at least January.
Jarred Vanderbilt has been working on his game and getting back into playing shape for awhile, but the Lakers announced that his surgery was taking longer than they originally hoped, but they also said that he is still improving.
Jarred Vanderbilt missed the first 20 games of the 2024 season, with a bursitis in his left heel and then literally two months later had a season ending injury with a right foot sprain, so his Lakers career has been disappointing.
He signed a 4 year $48 million deal with the Lakers, and he has only appeared in 29 games since signing the deal in September 2023. Vanderbilt became a starter after a trade with Utah 2 years ago, coming onto the team as a defensive player and wing scorer.
