Lakers head coach JJ Redick described Jarred Vanderbilt's return as "imminent" on Jan. 11, indicating significant progress in his rehabilitation from offseason foot surgeries.
After suffering a mid-foot sprain in February 2024, Vanderbilt has undergone two surgeries and has faced a lengthy recovery, with setbacks delaying his return.
Vanderbilt's absence has been notable as he has yet to play this season, despite being available on the bench during the playoffs.
Optimism concerning Vanderbilt's return has fluctuated, but recent reports suggest he is nearing an on-court comeback, signaling hope for the Lakers.
