EL SEGUNDO — Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt’s rehabilitation from offseason surgery on his feet will continue for at least the next couple of weeks before another update on his status is expected.
The team said on Wednesday night that Vanderbilt’s ramp-up progression has been more gradual than originally expected, emphasizing that the 25-year-old hasn’t experienced a setback and that a long-term approach is being taken with his health.
Vanderbilt had surgery on both his feet in May after missing the final couple of months of the 2023-24 season.
Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka said on Sept. 25 that there was “a lot of optimism” that Vanderbilt would be available when the team opened the regular season against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Oct. 22, but that didn’t come to fruition.
Vanderbilt is in the first season of a four-year, $48 million contract extension he signed with the Lakers last year.
