Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt is set to potentially make his playoff debut in a crucial Game 5 matchup against the Denver Nuggets.
Vanderbilt, who has been sidelined since early February due to a foot injury, has been upgraded to questionable for the do-or-die game, as reporter by Mike Trudell.
With LeBron James and Anthony Davis listed as probable and Christian Wood not on the injury report, the Lakers are poised to field a formidable lineup.
