At first, it seemed like he would return in the training camp, but that wasn't the case. Then, it was expected that he would play in the first game of the 2024/25 NBA regular season, but now it has been confirmed that Jarred Vanderbilt still doesn't know when he will return with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The new head coach of the franchise, JJ Redick, has confirmed that their defensive specialist will miss the first games of the new season due to the injury he has been carrying since February.

According to Redick, Vanderbilt will continue with his rehabilitation for at least 2 weeks. The season begins on October 22, in just 4 days, so the Lakers will have to manage the initial regular season games without him.

It is worth noting that this will be JJ Redick's first year as a coach of any team, and he will do so no less than with the Los Angeles Lakers, where there is also great anticipation to see LeBron James and his son Bronny play together.
