Will suit up Sunday
Vanderbilt (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis
Vanderbilt will shake off a questionable tag and should see increased playing time moving forward, as Austin Reaves (oblique) and Luka Doncic (hamstring) are out for at least a month, while Marcus Smart (ankle) also remains sidelined. Over his past 10 appearances, Vanderbilt has averaged 3.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 13.2 minutes per game.

Questionable for Sunday
Vanderbilt is questionable for Sunday's game in Dallas due to right calf soreness, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis
Vanderbilt may want to test his calf while going through his pregame routine, so he could be headed for a game-time call Sunday. If he's ruled out, that could open up some minutes for Jake LaRavia and Maxi Kleber.

Re-enters rotation Thursday
Vanderbilt registered nine points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals over 12 minutes during Thursday's 139-96 loss to the Thunder.
Analysis
Vanderbilt has had a hard time staying in the Lakers' rotation, but he was able to make an appearance with Thursday's game getting out of hand early. Considering he didn't see the floor in Tuesday's win over Cleveland, Vanderbilt isn't a lock to see steady playing time during the final week of the regular season.
