Further, Cam Reddish (sprained right ankle) and Gabe Vincent (left knee surgery) are still not playing because they are still healing from their injuries.

In the meantime, Jarred Vanderbilt was the most recent Lakers player to get hurt. On Thursday night against the Boston Celtics, he started in place of James and looked great. In 16 minutes, he had 10 points, seven boards, two assists, and three steals. He hurt his foot on a non-contact play at the end of the first half, which was too bad, because he couldn’t come back.

It is still unknown how long Vanderbilt will be out, but it is clear that this is a huge setback for both him and the Lakers.
