After spending most of the 2024-25 season sidelined due to offseason surgery on both of his feet, Jarred Vanderbilt finally made his return to the court in the Los Angeles Lakers’ win against the Golden State Warriors.
Vanderbilt’s rehab took longer than expected, but he was well worth the wait as he flew up and down the court and infused some much-needed energy on the team.
In his first game back, Vanderbilt was limited to 12 minutes but he made the most of his time by scrapping for rebounds and playing his brand of tenacious defense.
