It Is Confirmed For This Lakers Player

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham informed NBA reporters that point guard Gabe Vincent has received clearance for non-contact activities. Vincent, who has appeared in just five games this season, underwent left knee surgery in December.

Last summer, the Lakers inked Vincent to a three-year, $33 million deal during free agency. He played the initial four games of the season before sitting out 23 consecutive games due to injury. Making his comeback against the Chicago Bulls on December 20, Vincent managed three points but experienced knee discomfort, leading to surgery.

This season, the 27-year-old is averaging 5.4 points, 1.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists with shooting percentages of 37.5% from the field, 11.8% from beyond the arc, and 50.0% from the free-throw line. Throughout his career, spanning stints with the Miami Heat and Lakers, Vincent has maintained averages of 7.6 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists. His current salary stands at $10.5 million.

With a record of 36-30, the Lakers currently hold ninth place in the Western Conference. Despite speculation linking them to various players, the front office made no trades at the recent deadline. However, general manager Rob Pelinka secured Spencer Dinwiddie in the buyout market. The team ranks 10th in the NBA in points per game and 21st in points allowed per game.
