According to Jovan Buha of The Athletic, there is optimism around Vanderbilt returning to play before the end of the regular season.
“There is less clarity with Jarred Vanderbilt and Gabe Vincent. Neither has been ruled out for the rest of the season, but of the two, there is more internal optimism that Vanderbilt will return before the regular season ends next month, according to team and league sources. If either or both players had been healthy, they may have altered the direction of the Lakers’ season.”
Sure hoping the positive news about Vando is true. If he can come back like he was before the injury, Lakers have a puncher’s chance of winning everything.
Team & League sources told me he was out for the season just 2 days ago. That’s why I’m taking the wait & see approach. History has proven one thing though…this training staff always underestimates how long a player will be sidelined. When’s the last time anybody came back sooner than expected??
Valid point, Mongo. Nobody comes back on time for Lakers.
