[Reiter] Sources tell @CBSSports that Los Angeles Lakers players Christian Wood, Jarred Vanderbilt and Gabe Vincent will miss the rest of the season. While Vanderbilt still could return, sources say, the expectation is that will not happen. @espn first reported the news on Wood.

    Sheesh, Vando is essential in the playoffs to take pressure off the perimeter.

  2. jfrodriguez1983

    What Heat guard will the Lakers sign next?

  3. triplesingle999

    So the Lakers will still have horrid perimeter defense in the playoffs without Vanderbilt

    They just got much less scary as anyone’s first round matchup IMO

  4. PrivateButtFucker

    I legit thought Gabe would be a game changer for them.

  5. Mood_Academic

    Pretty sure Gabe was already cleared for workouts, and Vando has been really close to returning from all reports. Idk

  6. 21squirrel

    Not sure about this one. Gabe was cleared for on-court workouts a couple weeks ago already, unless he re-aggravated the injury.

  7. Poor Vando. That foot has been bothering him since he was in Denver.

  8. offcourtissues

    “Vando will miss the rest of the season, but he might not”

  9. LOL. Classic “twitter insider”. Gabe Vincent was just cleared for on court work last week. Vando “will miss rest of season”. But “still could return.” Guess I should be an insider too. Breaking news from sources: Jokic will play in the NBA next year BUTTTT he still could not. Also heard the same on every player in the league. I know big scoop.

  10. Its_Hoggish_Greedly

    Ruh roh. That’s not great for the Lakers postseason chances.

  11. Ok Lakers might as well start tanking and give the rockets your spot

  12. Accurate-Albatross34

    I’m pretty sure gabe has been cleared for training. Also, vanderbilt will miss the rest of the season, but he also might not? Lmfao, what the fuck is this?

  13. markmaybach

    Two good players down. Sucks because Lebron and AD are healthy all season long

  14. MrAppleSpoink

    I’m sorry what the fuck? Gabe is literally cleared for on court work and Vando is right about there too. What kind of fucking sources does this hack have?

  15. BigStrongPolarGuy

    They’ve invested so much money and effort into replacing what Alex Caruso gave them instead of just investing in keeping Alex Caruso. 

  16. Separate-Affect9459

    Really turned one playoff series into $33/3 and then noped out for a year

    ​

    all time bag securer

  17. k1ngkoala

    Vando will be needed if we want a chance at the playoffs. Very unfortunate news if true

  18. socialistbcrumb

    Between the Warriors and Heat the last couple of Celtics playoff exits coming at the hands of guys that turned into pumpkins within a season or two is going to destroy me

  19. radikraze

    Eh idk about this. They’ve been saying for awhile that Vando is close to coming back and this “report” is extremely vague

  20. Does the lakers org lie to their fans to keep them from writing off the season? Personally, these players’ return is what gave me hope we could make a run


  21. nbaistheworst

    Not a lakers fan – were any of those players expected to be in the playoff rotation if healthy?

  22. dethnight

    There is a 50 percent chance that there is a 100 percent chance Vanderbilt is out the rest of the season.

  23. The lakers having to win two play in games only to meet Denver round one is nasty

  24. LukaDoncicfuturegoat

    Thanks Gabe Vincent, our best POA defender is now Spencer Windiwie.

    What a waste of a season by Jeannie and the Lakers FO, we have blessed by having Bron and AD healthy and playing as a top 10 player.

    So the only way to pretend having a good year is by grinding for in the play-in, securing a playoff spot and praying to face OKC in 1st round lol.

    There would a huge amount of fans that would want us to fail all together so XHamster would be fired.

    If this is true.

  25. WadeCountyClutch

    I don’t care how good he can be, please off load Gabe Vincent this off season.

  26. Maleficent-Vater

    I remember how hyped the Lakers Fanboys were about Wood.

  27. Giannis2024

    Bro really got paid 82k per minute played this season

  28. Dymatizeee

    Gabe Vincent tricked the whole lakers front office just cus he had 1 decent series against the bucks

  29. SouthFloridaSwag93

    Lakers aren’t making the playoffs this year and if they do they’ll be out in the first round smh ..
