The Los Angeles Lakers announced forward Jarred Vanderbilt has advanced to full-court activities with contact. The Lakers will continue to monitor Vanderbilt’s progress and he will be re-evaluated in one week.
Vanderbilt has yet to make his 2024-25 season debut after undergoing surgery on both of his feet in the offseason and some lingering knee soreness but appears to be nearing a return to play. This is another positive update as head coach JJ Redick recently said Vanderbilt was making real progress in his rehab process.
Los Angeles is still thin in the frontcourt after the acquisition of Dorian Finney-Smith who can slide up to power forward and center in certain lineups, so Vanderbilt’s looming return would serve as a huge boost to the team.
