'Lakers Emergency' Vanderbilt Says Possible Absence Of Camp
It is not easy for the Los Angeles Lakers to build up their full power ahead of the upcoming 2024-2025 season.
According to Mike Bresnerhan of Spectrum Sportsnet, the Lakers' Jared Vanderbilt (203 cm, 97 kg) may not be able to participate in this training camp.
Vanderbilt got off to a late start to the season with a heel injury last season as well. He signed a four-year, $48 million extension prior to last season, but the injury has not completely covered the season. Above all, his physical condition has not changed due to injury-related issues during the season.
The problem is that there is a possibility that the start will be delayed again due to injuries. The situation is not just bad, but it is regrettable that he may not be able to play camp with any other player. Moreover, considering his performance last season, the Lakers can build a more solid power only when he is at full strength this time. However, it is natural that the start is delayed again this time.
Last season, he played in only 29 games. He played 20 minutes per game, scoring 5.2 points (.518.296.67) with 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals. He still played defense games compared to games, but his overall performance was not as good as before. Worse yet, he suffered a right foot injury during this season, and will not be able to play as a starting player for the rest of the season. As a result, he had to end the season early.
Although he finished the season early last season, his preparation to play in the upcoming season is fatal. Moreover, it is true that the Lakers are somewhat disappointed in their mobility and defense. The first-line defense is quite weak, and except for Anthony Davis, there is no one who can defend well in the second line. His absence, which can defend both guards and forwards and can increase mobility, will inevitably come a long way.
For the record, the Lakers suffered from injuries throughout the last season. Not only Vanderbilt who gave him an extension contract but also Gabe Vincent, who was ambitiously brought in, suffered injuries and were not in full swing. It was difficult to build major forces, and it was inevitable that there was a setback in hiring players to establish tactics. The part where Vanderbilt is not able to play in time again this time is when he repeats his regret from last season.
The remaining contracts are also key. The extended contract that the Lakers gave Vanderbilt will take effect immediately from next season. At $12 million per year, the salary is not much, but the contract is long. There is even a player option in the last year of the contract. If he exercises his options, his contract expires in as many as 2027-2028 seasons. Now in his mid-20s, it's not a dangerous contract, but it's a shame as it is.

Evoplay has successfully enacted its emergency contingency plans for its majority-Ukrainian team members, with the provider now ready to continue its service following the disruption caused by the last few weeks’ events.
Since the start of hostilities on February 24, Evoplay has relocated 15% of its staff to Cyprus, and organised working and living facilities alongside its new office, opened in Lviv this week to give additional movements of its team who have chosen to stay in Ukraine.
The supplier, which has multiple partners, stakeholders and team members across Ukraine, is regularly donating to causes that support Ukrainian people and volunteering initiatives that actively support the humanitarian relief effort on the ground.
The company has also launched a fund for its entire staff, with all Ukraine-based team members providing full financial and logistical support to relocate to the safest regions of the country. Team members wishing to relocate to Cyprus will also be provided with the means to do so.
A significant portion of Evoplay’s staff has also committed to joining the volunteer and relief efforts, with the studio granting unlimited leave and financial support for all those involved in humanitarian efforts.
The supplier will continue to operate as usual from its new locations across Europe, with its contingency plan set to ensure the studio will continue with its 2022 game development plan without interruption.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “As a Ukrainian company at heart, and true advocates of world peace, we cannot stand idle at such a challenging time and have pledged to support the Ukrainian relief effort in any way we can.
“We will channel every resource we have at our disposal into efforts to rehouse our Ukraine-based team members. Supporting the wider needs of Ukraine during such a dark time in our history is the least we could do, and we pledge to do everything we can to support humanitarian efforts on the ground as the situation develops. We thank all of our friends and partners for their kind words of support.”

Finally, a big deal? Chelsea makes an official proposal to 'former teammate Kim Min-jae' Will Son co
Victor Osimhen (26, Napoli), who won the Serie A trophy to Napoli along with Kim Min-jae (28, Bayern Munich), has a chance to join the English Premier League. If the transfer is completed, he is expected to compete with Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham) for the top scorer.
Citing Italy's "Zanluca di Margio," the British "Goal dotcom" said on the 28th (Korea time) that Chelsea has finally submitted an official proposal to Napoli to recruit Nigerian striker Osimhen.
According to the article, Chelsea have delivered an official proposal to Roberto Calenda, Osimhen's agent. Osimhen had been thinking of separating from Napoli this summer.
Al Ahli (Saudi Arabia), once banking on his "oil money," offered 65 million pounds to Napoli to recruit Osimhen. However, Osimhen prefers to move to the Premier League on the day and hinted at the possibility of staying at Napoli if things don't go well.
Osimhen led Napoli to the Serie A championship along with defender Kim Min-jae in the 2022-2023 season. At that time, Osimhen became the top scorer with 26 league goals (five assists), attracting the popularity of big clubs.
However, Osimhen extended his contract with Napoli until 2026 and played for one more season. Having decided to leave Napoli this summer, Osimhen still showed off his scoring ability by scoring 15 goals (three assists) in 25 league matches despite his injury last season.
"Oshimen is the African Player of the Year and ranked eighth in the Ballon d'Or. There is still a lot to do in Europe," Calenda said, dismissing rumors of a transfer to Saudi Arabia.
Chelsea was one of the clubs Osimhen wanted. This is because it was a team where Didier Drogba, a legendary striker and his idol, was. Osimhen has mentioned the possibility of a transfer to Chelsea several times.
However, Osimhen's high salary made Chelsea hesitate. This is because it was not easy to bring Osimhen without organizing the Chelsea internal team.
Chelsea are believed to have given Romelu Lukaku and cash to Napoli in exchange for Osimen. Lukaku is a Chelsea player since 2021, but has been on loan due to friction with the club. Lukaku will soon move to Naples for a medical test.
If Osimhen joins Chelsea, the competition to become the top scorer in the Premier League will likely intensify. Along with Erling Holan (24, Manchester City), who is aiming to become the top scorer for three consecutive seasons, Son Heung-min who scored multiple goals in the last match will inevitably face competition with Osimhen.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are also preparing an alternative in case Osimhen rejects the offer. It is Ivan Toney (28, Brentford) who Tottenham have been targeting for a while. Chelsea are showing commitment to complete recruitment of new strikers before the closing of the transfer window this week.
