The optimism of a return to 100% for the recovery has evaporated. JJ Redick told ESPN that Jared Vanderbilt continues to progress towards a return to competition. But also that his rehabilitation would continue for at least two weeks.
In other words, the Lakers power forward will not be in uniform for the resumption of play on October 22 against the Wolves, his former team. The Houston native did not participate in practices or preseason games due to his recovery from operations on both feet.
Great pick from the Lakers during the 2022/23 season, this very useful “role player” was unfortunately unable to continue his momentum in 2023/24. The fault is his state of health which deprived him of competition from last February. As a result, he only played 29 matches.
Two weeks ago, during his “media day”Jarred Vanderbilt confided that he was not sure if he could be ready for the restart. “ I can't wait to play again. Being on the bench and being able to look at what the team needs and what I can bring to the table, bring to the team… My No. 1 goal is to be healthy and pass a healthy season “, he posted.
