Lakers' Jarred Vanderbilt: Progressing in recovery

Coach JJ Redick said Saturday that Vanderbilt (foot) is progressing and in a "ramp up" stage in his recovery, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Vanderbilt is still working his way back from multiple foot surgeries this offseason and isn't expected to suit up in the preseason. However, the Lakers are still targeting the regular-season opener against Minnesota on Oct. 21 as his return date.
