Injury Report: The Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham has revealed
that point guard Gabe Vincent and power forward Jarred Vanderbilt are not close
to reuniting with the first team.
Both players are currently spending time on the sidelines in
order to recover from injuries sustained earlier in the season.
Ham was recently quoted in the report where he stated that both
players are doing light workouts but are not close to returning to full
fitness.
“It’s going according to plan,” Ham said after practice on
Tuesday. “Just non-impact work in terms of him being on the AlterG (treadmill)
and doing some other things in the weight room and in the pool. That’s it for
now.
“Same thing [for Vanderbilt]. Status quo. Just ramping up
with different alternative workouts. Same thing going on with him, no change
with that.”
Ham further went on to state that he is very much looking
forward to integrating both players into the mix once they are fit enough.

“It’s very realistic,” he said. “I just think if you get a
healthy body back, other guys have had a lot of miles put on themselves this
season due to our injury circumstances. So you work them back in slowly, you do
different things, you have stay ready groups to try to get them up to speed on
where you are currently. And just let the chips fall where they may.
“No one has a crystal ball, you can’t feel sorry for
yourself. You just have to continue to work each and every day and hope they
work each and every day to strengthen and resolve their injuries and go from
there. There’s no formula or secret potion that’s gonna drop them back into the
lineup clicking on all cylinders. It’s gonna be a process but it’s one we’re
willing to go through.”
