Vanderbilt's return is unlikely to be the opener.
LA Lakers coach J.J. Redick talked about Jared Vanderbilt in an interview with ESPN on the 18th (Korea Standard Time).
Vanderbilt was the 41st overall pick in the 2018 draft and was not very high in the order of nominations. However, he expanded his position in the league by appealing to his own strengths.
Kang Baek-ho, the main character of the cartoon "Slam Dunk," is a real player. He has excellent athletic ability, activity, and strength in participating in the fight for the right to provide. Vanderbilt has the disadvantage of weak shooting ability but is also attractive in that it can defend the opponent's guard ace.
Vanderbilt, who joined the Lakers in a trade during the 2022-2023 season, was a key resource and agreed to a four-year extension with his team last summer. He promised a long-term companion.
However, Vanderbilt's move is regrettable since he signed an extension contract. His injury is holding him back. Vanderbilt came back after leaving the club due to a heel injury early last season and injured his metatarsal in his right foot after playing in 29 matches. Some talked about his return to the court ahead of the playoffs, but he could not return to the court.
Vanderbilt, whose last real game was on Feb. 2, chose to take another option in the course of his recovery rather than surgery. Although he underwent various procedures, he has not been able to play in this preseason game as a result, and is in a difficult situation to play in the opening game. According to an interview with Redic, he should wait and see Vanderbilt's recovery for at least two weeks. 토토사이트
"Jared Vanderbilt's rehabilitation and preparations for his return are going smoothly. We are moving in a very good direction," Redic said, but added, "It is very likely that we will not have any updates for the next two weeks. Therefore, Vanderbilt will not be ready to start the regular season," hinting at Vanderbilt's absence from the opening game. The Lakers' opening game of the regular season is less than a week away.
Ledick continued, "We are taking a long-term approach. The coach, the medical staff and the players themselves all agreed. The season is long. We want to make sure he is going in the right direction."
The Lakers have already left the wing resources without reinforcing their off-season capabilities. If Vanderbilt returns and invigorates it, it can be a great addition, but chances are high that he will not be able to do so in the opening game. Other players in defense need to work harder.
