mauth.qa.cbssports.comHere’s a concise update based on recent reporting.
- Jordan Goodwin has been involved with the Los Angeles Lakers as a two-way guard, with injury notes in early 2025 indicating a Grade 1 ankle sprain that sidelined him for a short period but was described as not serious by the team’s coach [source mentions JJ Redick’s update on his ankle in 2025].[1][10]
- In college at Saint Louis University, Goodwin’s career included a notable suspension in 2018 related to a Title IX inquiry, which kept him out for part of that season; he later returned to contribute significantly to the program.[2]
- Goodwin entered the NBA Draft in 2020 after his time at SLU, and subsequently pursued professional opportunities, including a two-way contract and NBA assignments with teams like the Lakers (notably discussed around 2024–25).[3][4]
