Jarred Vanderbilt injury update; Doing well but won’t play for USA U19 team

After watching Jarred Vanderbilt go down in the Jordan Brand Classic, it looked like the UK signee had suffered a major injury that could sideline him indefinitely.

However, Vanderbilt’s father, Robert Vanderbilt, told Larry Vaught that the Jarred is doing fine as he reports to UK soon.

“Everything is going well,” said Robert. “He’s feeling good, looking good. He just can’t wait until he gets his opportunity at Kentucky.”

The injury came near the end of the Jordan Brand game as Vanderbilt was driving to the rim, but appeared to plant his foot awkwardly and went down writhing in pain.
