Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt has been sidelined since early February because of a sprained right midfoot injury and has played just 29 games this season after missing the first seven weeks with a left heel injury. MEMPHIS, Tenn. — As the Lakers’ regular season comes to a close, it’s all but guaranteed that forward Jarred Vanderbilt won’t return to the lineup before the team turns its attention to postseason play.
He’s played just 29 games this season after missing the first seven weeks because of a left heel injury. Vanderbilt’s teammates have spoken with optimism that he’ll return at some point this season. But if he does get back on the court, it’s become evident that a postseason run will need to be made for that to happen.James missed Sunday’s home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves because of flu-like symptoms before playing in Tuesday’s home loss to the Golden State Warriors despite still feeling under the weather.
With their main players sidelined, the Grizzlies started two-way players Jordan Goodwin and Scotty Pippen Jr. in the backcourt, rookie GG Jackson and second-year player Jake LaRavia at the forward spots and two-way big man Trey Jemison.
