Vanderbilt suffered the injury on Feb. 1 during Los Angeles’ 114-105 victory in Boston. He scored 10 points with seven rebounds and three steals in 16 minutes before he was ruled out for the remainder of the matchup.
Vanderbilt’s defensive prowess has been key for the Lakers, though injuries have sidelined him throughout the first half of the season. Vanderbilt is averaging 5.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 29 games.
The setback to Vanderbilt adds to a growing list of injury woes for the Lakers who are also without Cam Reddish (ankle sprain) and Gabe Vincent (knee surgery recovery).
