Despite reports from Dave McMenamin and Shams Charania that Jarred Vanderbilt was “eying” a return for Game 3 and Christian Wood “planned to return” in Game 3, both will remain out.

This is unfortunate injury news for the Lakers, who were hoping to gain reinforcements after falling behind 2-0 in the series.
LA will need to take care of business without the two role players in Game 3 and hope they can return at some point in the series.
