Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Iffy for Saturday
Vanderbilt is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to left foot injury management, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Vanderbilt is one of several Lakers who are questionable for Sunday's contest, but a decision on his status will likely be made closer to the 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff. If he ends up being upgraded to available, look for Vanderbilt to handle a sizable role in the rotation since the coaching staff has decided to give most of the rotation regulars a day off in this regular-season finale.

Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Sitting out Thursday
Vanderbilt (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
Vanderbilt evidently picked up a groin injury during Wednesday's game against the Nuggets and will be held out of Thursday's matchup as a result. Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) has also been ruled out, so it'll be up to Cam Reddish, Trey Jemison and Alex Len to pick up the slack in the frontcourt.

Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Moving to starting role Friday
Vanderbilt is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
The Lakers will be very shorthanded due to rest and injuries for this game, so Vanderbilt will be part of the starting unit. He's made just one start this season -- it came in a 111-101 loss to Boston on March 8, when he posted four points, eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 29 minutes.

Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Back to bench Monday
Vanderbilt is not in the Lakers' starting lineup against the Nets on Monday, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
Vanderbilt started in Saturday's loss against the Celtics. He will retreat to the bench Monday while the Lakers go with a starting five of Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Gabe Vincent, Dalton Knecht and Alex Len.

Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Grabs eight rebounds in loss
Vanderbilt finished Saturday's 111-101 loss to the Celtics with four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 29 minutes.
Vanderbilt logged his first start of the season as the team continued to tinker with the frontcourt depth chart. If there ever was a moment for Vanderbilt to show his worth after languishing on the bench for two full seasons with the Lakers, now would be the time. The backcourt still doesn't have a consistent solution for Anthony Davis' missed production, and Saturday's injury to LeBron James (groin) will add immense pressure for everyone to step up and contribute. Vanderbilt proved during his tenure in Minnesota that he has the skills to be a nightly contributor, but he's struggled to replicate that success.

Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Moving to starting role
Vanderbilt is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.
The Lakers are tweaking their lineup due to the absence of Jaxson Hayes (knee), and Vanderbilt will move into the first unit as his replacement. That said, the Lakers will probably rotate on who plays down low based on matchups. Vanderbilt is averaging 4.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game this season, and this will be his first start of the campaign.

Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Strong showing in win
Vanderbilt closed Tuesday's 136-115 win over the Pelicans with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 20 minutes.
Vanderbilt set a new season-high scoring mark and, along with Jaxson Hayes, is starting to trend in the right direction for the Lakers. He's eclipsed 20 minutes in two straight games, averaging 10.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 2.0 blocks and 0.5 steals.

Vanderbilt produced five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 13 minutes during Thursday's 111-102 victory over the Timberwolves.
During his limited run Thursday, Vanderbilt was efficient and sank a three-pointer for a second consecutive contest. The 25-year-old has received fairly consistent playing time since returning from a lengthy absence due to a right foot injury, and over his last 10 outings, he has averaged 3.5 points and 5.2 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per contest.

He's averaging 3.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals over 16.1 minutes per game across his 10 outings during the season.
