The Los Angeles Lakers are eagerly awaiting the return of Jarred Vanderbilt who has yet to make his 2024-25 season debut.
Vanderbilt has been working hard during rehab and is making steady progress, advancing to on-court activity this past week. Head coach JJ Redick has been as optimistic as ever on Vanderbilt’s status as he recently said the forward’s return was imminent.
However, Redick later clarified that although Vanderbilt is making progress and is close to returning he still won’t make his season debut this week.
“He had an off day yesterday, today was a lighter day and then we’re gonna ramp him back up,” Redick said before Monday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs.
