Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Part of rotation Sunday
Jarred Vanderbilt chipped in seven points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals in 15 minutes during Sunday's 116-114 win over the Suns.Vanderbilt played double-digit minutes for the first time since Nov. 14. After not seeing the floor in eight straight games, the defensive-minded forward has received minutes in two of the Los Angeles Lakers' past three games. With Austin Reaves (calf) sidelined for at least a week, coach JJ Redick might open up the rotation, which could bode well for Vanderbilt's playing time.

Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Cut out of rotation
Jarred Vanderbilt (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Tuesday's 140-126 win over the Jazz.After he had seen his playing time decline from 19 minutes to 11 to eight over the Los Angeles Lakers' previous three contests, Vanderbilt ended up falling out of the rotation entirely Tuesday while Los Angeles welcomed LeBron James (sciatica) and Gabe Vincent (ankle) back from long-term absences. Though Vanderbilt could reclaim a role on the second unit if the Lakers are missing a player or two in their nine-man rotation for a given game, he may struggle to get off the bench more often than not when the team is at full strength.

Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Posts strong double-double
Jarred Vanderbilt recorded 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 18 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 122-102 loss to Atlanta.Luka Doncic led the way for the Los Angeles Lakers in scoring, but Vanderbilt made a big impact as well. The veteran forward ended just one rebound shy of tying his career-high mark in that category, and he supplemented that with 12 points to record his first double-double of the season. Vanderbilt isn't expected to take Rui Hachimura's place in the starting lineup, so Vanderbilt's overall upside will remain fairly low due to his role in the rotation.
