LA Lakers Injury Report (February 23): Cam Reddish and Jarred Vanderbilt’s latest updates

The LA Lakers continue to be plagued by injuries, missing several key pieces in their loss to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday in their first game after the All-Star break. LeBron James was the most notable absentee, and the Warriors took advantage of the undermanned Lakers, routing their Pacific Division rivals 128-112.

Apart from LeBron, key pieces like Cam Reddish and Jarred Vanderbilt were also unavailable. The three absences were a major reason for the Lakers struggling in their most recent game. The trend could continue when they take on the San Antonio Spurs in their next game on Friday.

Vanderbilt missed his seventh straight game. He last played on Feb. 1 against the Boston Celtics but had to leave due to an injury to his right foot. He has since been diagnosed with a mid-foot sprain. Aside from this recent string of missed games, he has missed 28 games to start the season.

Meanwhile, Reddish has missed 11 games due to a sprained right ankle. He last suited up on Jan. 23 against the Clippers. Before this 11-game absence, he had missed 10 games due to various injuries.

Apart from Reddish, Vanderbilt and Lebron, the other players listed on the LA Lakers injury report are Christian Wood and Gabe Vincent.
