Lakers’ Jarred Vanderbilt Remains on the Sidelines Due to Heel Injury

The Los Angeles Lakers will have to go without Jarred Vanderbilt in their upcoming game against the Kings, as confirmed by Jovan Buha of The Athletic.

Vanderbilt is set to miss his second consecutive game due to a left heel injury that he sustained last week.

This absence comes at a crucial time, especially as Vanderbilt is in the running for the starting power forward position, competing against Rui Hachimura and Taurean Prince. Extended time on the sidelines could potentially hinder his prospects in this competition.

Nevertheless, he will have a chance to make his return to the court in the game against the Warriors on Friday.
