The Los Angeles Lakers haven’t been able to catch a break this season.
They made several offseason additions, but most of them have had to miss time with injuries.
And while neither of them are stars, it’s more than evident that they were all a big part of Darvin Ham’s plans for the season.
Fortunately, with Gabe Vincent being the only player already ruled out for Saturday’s clash with the Houston Rockets, that means that Jaxson Hayes, Rui Hachimura, and Jarred Vanderbilt could all be back on the floor for that game (Via Lakers Daily).
Only Gabe Vincent has been ruled out of Saturday’s game against the Rockets so far.
That means Rui, Vando and Jax can all potentially return, per @LakersReporter

Notably, Cam Reddish also missed the loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder with a groin injury.
The Lakers were supposed to be one of the deepest teams in the league this season, but that just hasn’t been the case.
Having these three guys back on the court should do wonders for their defense, not to mention the fact that it would give them more size and two guys who could either back up or play next to LeBron James in crunch time.
James has already made it loud and clear that things have to change with the Lakers, and that usually means trouble for role players and rotation pieces.
Most of the Lakers’ players cannot be traded yet because of their new contracts, but all James’ teams usually go through mid-season roster overhauls.
So, they better get their act together sooner rather than later or they could be on the wrong side of a trade.
