Lakers To Exercise Option For Jarred Vanderbilt
1 year agoLos Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt is set to continue to wear purple and gold in 2023-24, with the Lakers exercising their team option. The 24-year-old will earn $4.7 million next season, and he's going to be eligible for an extension worth up to four years and $71 million in September. Vanderbilt struggled to make a mark in the 2023 playoffs, but he had a solid regular-season campaign and averaged 7.2 points with 6.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 24.0 minutes with the Lakers after coming over from Utah in February. He should be around the same numbers in 2023-24.
