Lakers, Jarred Vanderbilt still not ready to return on court

“We’ll have another update in a week or so, “ said Los Angeles Lakers coach J.J. Redick regarding Jarred Vanderbilt’s injury. The Lakers wing, important especially for his defensive contributions, is recovering from surgeries he underwent during the offseason on both feet. Redick said Friday that the player is suffering “mild discomfort” now, but that this would also be part of the normal recovery process. The former NBA veteran added that Vanderbilt “is progressing,” but that his return to the court is not imminent, as reported by Jovan Buha of The Athletic.
