Jarred Vanderbilt wears boot, uses scooter at Nuggets press conference

Jarred Vanderbilt’s injury issues are well-documented at Kentucky, and he appears to still be on the recovery process, as he showed up to his introductory press conference with the Denver Nuggets in a walking boot while riding a scooter.

Vanderbilt skipped the NBA Draft Combine because he was unable to participate, but it wasn’t revealed that he was still in a boot and using a scooter.

He played only 14 games, missing the entire SEC Tournament and Kentucky’s NCAA Tournament games. And he’ll likely miss more time, as the Summer League starts in a couple weeks and it certainly doesn’t look like he’ll be healthy.
