Jarred Vanderbilt Expected To Miss "Several Weeks"
10 months agoLos Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) was forced to exit the team's game against the Boston Celtics on Thursday after suffering a foot injury in the second quarter. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Vanderbilt is now expected to miss "several weeks" and there are still more tests that need to be done. There's a chance that it could be more serious and cause him to miss even more time than that. The 24-year-old missed the first month of the season with some injury issues as well and then went on to play around 20 minutes a contest and averaged 5.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. His extended absence should translate to more opportunities for Rui Hachimura and Christian Wood as long as the Lakers don't make any moves before the trade deadline.
