Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt Sidelined with Foot Injury for 3-4 Weeks

The Lakers forward's absence due to a mid-foot sprain comes as the team fights for playoff positioning.

Jarred Vanderbilt, Lakers forward, has been diagnosed with a right mid-foot sprain and will be re-evaluated in 3-4 weeks.
The injury occurred during the Lakers' victory over the Boston Celtics, adding to the team's growing list of key absences.
Vanderbilt's defensive prowess and recent performance had been key for the Lakers, especially during their run to the Western Conference finals last spring.
The Lakers are considering roster moves to compensate for Vanderbilt's absence, with trade deadline approaches.
Gabe Vincent, also sidelined due to injury, could return by early March, potentially bolstering the team's lineup.
