Lakers Injury Update: JJ Redick Calls Jarred Vanderbilt’s Return ‘Imminent’

The Los Angeles Lakers appear to finally be getting healthy as Jarred Vanderbilt has made progress in his rehab from offseason surgery.

Vanderbilt recently advanced to full on-court activities, a major step in his return to play schedule.

Head coach JJ Redick spoke about Vanderbilt’s progress after practicing on Friday and noted that he’s getting closer to making his 2024-25 season debut.

“Jarred was able to get two of the last three days, some live action with our South Bay team, which is I think really good for him. We want to get him more exposure to live play against professionals before we set a sort of target date.
