With Jarred Vanderbilt out, what coach Darvin Ham needs to avoid with the Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers got a huge win over the Boston Celtics but they lost Jarred Vanderbilt who got hurt at the start it didn't look to be too bad, as X-rays were negative, the latest information the forward is set to miss several games.

“Vanderbilt will undergo more extensive consultation in the coming days on his mid-foot area to determine the full extent of the injury and whether a season-ending procedure could become necessary, sources said.” Reported Dave McMenamin.

To make things worse, the forward could potentially miss the rest of the season. But that's not even the worst news, as coach Darvin Ham could be using Taurean Prince even more, a player who has already too much playing time.

Prince has been starting over Jarred Vanderbilt, but the defensive forward been a key player for the team was taking some significant playing minutes, now that he is out, Prince who hasn't delivered will be able to get even more playing time.

The Lakers have lost Jarred Vanderbilt for several weeks

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski recently announced that Vanderbilt is expected to miss several weeks with a right foot injury, now has added: "There’s more evaluation that needs to be done on the right mid-foot area for Vanderbilt and possibility his absence could be more significant than several weeks, sources said. Vanderbilt’s played some of his best ball as a Laker lately and certainly is one of team’s best defenders."
