Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) could return for Game 3 against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday, reports Dave McMenamin of ESPN.
What It Means
Vanderbilt has been out since the beginning of February due to a right mid-foot sprain. If he can return for Game 3, there will be fewer minutes available off the bench for Taurean Prince, Gabe Vincent, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Jaxson Hayes.
Vanderbilt averaged 16.0 FanDuel points and 20.0 minutes across 29 games this season, with 5.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game.
