The LA Lakers are getting a mid-season addition with one key player returning from injury.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As things currently stand, the LA Lakers<\/a> are a solid Western Conference team as they are the No. 5 seed with a 24-18 record. The problem? Two losses and they could fall well into the Play-In Tournament picture.<\/p>\n

Many are claiming the Lakers have no path forward as a contender<\/a> and that they should make a key trade. However, with LeBron James<\/a> and Anthony Davis on the roster, the squad should be quite good, especially as they can play fully healthy.<\/p>\n

The Lakers are seeing the return of one key defender that will elevate the team’s ceiling on the season and will give them a good mid-season bump. Jarred Vanderbilt, after being sidelined for a good while, is set to make his return to the club.<\/p>\n

Jarred Vanderbilt clarifies how he will help the Lakers in his return<\/h2>\n

With Vanderbilt returning, he’s set to play for head coach JJ Redick for the first time<\/a>. His role might look completely different than it did a season ago. He is a remarkable defender and will bring a huge boost of energy off the bench.<\/p>\n

In case Redick doesn’t know or fans might have forgotten, Vanderbilt detailed what everyone can expect from him as he returns to the hardwood sporting the purple and gold in recent media availability.<\/p>\n

“Going out there playing hard, playing tough, being physical. Being aggressive, being vocal out there, whether it’s rebounding, defending, and then connect the passing, whatever the case may be, just going out there and doing my part to help the team win,” Vanderbilt explained.<\/p>\n

With high-level talents like James and Davis leading the way, having a tone-setter like Vanderbilt come off the bench is massive. If the Lakers are in need of some life and the starting lineup isn’t providing it, Vanderbilt can bring in when he’s inserted into the game.<\/p>\n
