Jarred Vanderbilt is available for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Fantasy Impact

Vanderbilt will play through his groin injury but is expected to have a reduced role with Rui Hachimura (knee) back in the lineup and set to play 20-24 minutes. Additionally, LeBron James (groin) remains a game-time decision, which could further impact Vanderbilt’s minutes if he returns.

Jarred Vanderbilt (groin) is likely to play in Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Fantasy Impact

A groin injury left Vanderbilt sidelined on Thursday, but he is expected to be able to play through it against the Bulls. Fantasy managers should expect him to see less work moving forward whenever LeBron James (groin) is available to make his return to the lineup for Los Angeles.

Jarred Vanderbilt is ruled out for Thursday’s matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Fantasy Impact

Vanderbilt sustained a groin injury during Wednesday's game and will sit out Thursday to avoid playing on zero days of rest. Cam Reddish and Trey Jemison III are expected to pick up additional minutes in his absence.

Jarred Vanderbilt is listed as doubtful for Thursday’s matchup with Milwaukee due to a right groin strain, per Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com, following his ejection from Monday’s game.

Fantasy Impact

Vanderbilt’s likely absence, paired with Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) also doubtful, could push Cam Reddish into a bigger role in the Lakers’ forward mix against the Bucks—his defensive hustle and rebounding stay on hold. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues might see Reddish step up, though Vanderbilt’s limited output keeps his impact minimal either way.

Jarred Vanderbilt scored eight points (4-7 FG, 0-3 3PT) to go with nine rebounds and two blocks in Sunday's 108-102 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Fantasy Impact

Vanderbilt played his supporting role well on Sunday. He led the team in rebounding and blocks over the course of 22 minutes, and he fell just two points and one rebound shy of a double-double. Despite this solid outing, he still isn't a worthwhile fantasy asset at this point in the season.
