Will he be back in time for tonight's Game 2 matchup against the Denver Nuggets? Or at least this series?
Los Angeles Lakers reserve combo forward Jarred Vanderbilt , who's been sidelined since early February with a right foot injury, was recently spotted wearing a walking boot while in Denver as LA prepared for the first game of its ongoing first round Western Conference playoffs series against the reigning champion Nuggets. LA would go on to lose, 114-103, in Game 1 on Saturday, and looked particularly vulnerable on the break and along the perimeter defensively.
Vanderbilt, a 6'8" Kentucky product who inked a lucrative four-year, $48 million contract extension with LA before playing just 29 regular season games this year, isn't the only key perimeter defender who'll be missing. Small forward Cam Reddish is also on the shelf. Los Angeles will need another great perimeter defender, Gabe Vincent, to step up.
