Going back to the 2023 offseason, the Los Angeles Lakers’ big free agent addition was guard Gabe Vincent, who signed a three-year, $33 million contract.
So far though, that signing has not panned out how anyone had hoped. Vincent was limited to just 11 games in his first season with the Lakers due to a knee injury.
He has been healthy for the start of the 2024-25 season but has looked nothing like his pre-injury self. In 20 games, Vincent has averaged just 3.2 points on 34.7% shooting and 23.9% from 3.
With a number of backcourt players out with injuries though, Vincent made his first start as a Laker on Sunday night against the Utah Jazz and had arguably his best game with 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting to go along with three rebounds, two assists and one steal.
