- Jarred Vanderbilt has been offered award that worth…The Lakers are preparing for postseason basketball, having finished the regular season strong by winning seven of their last ten to secure the eighth seed and a matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans in the play-in.Los Angeles appears to be peaking at the right time, but the biggest question regarding the roster is still Jarred Vanderbilt’s return.
Official updates from the team have been few and far between, but Jovan Buha of The Athletic gave one during a recent live stream.
“I’ve been told that Vando has ramped up his conditioning into light jogging, but he has not returned to on-court contact activity yet, which means he’s not going to play Sunday in New Orleans. Even playing in the play-in seems unlikely. So if Vando returns, it’s appearing as if it’s going to have to be in the first round of the playoffs on the early side. So maybe the Lakers get him back for a matchup against the Timberwolves or the Thunder, or maybe even mid-series.”
Vanderbilt’s return may feel like a stretch, but we have seen signs of a comeback for the Lakers wing. He’s been seen set shooting at practice and pregame and with the Lakers not ruling him out for the season, his return is still on the table.
