Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent will miss at least two more weeks with a left knee injury.
According to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, Vincent had his knee drained and underwent PRP treatment.
Vincent has appeared in only four games for the Lakers this season. He’s averaging 6.0 points, 1.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists while shooting 39.3% from the field, 7.1% from beyond the arc and 50.0% from the free-throw line.

The Lakers signed Vincent to a three-year, $33 million contract this past offseason. Vincent has career averages of 7.6 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists with the Miami Heat and Lakers.
After making the Western Conference Finals last season, the Lakers have started 6-6 in 2023-24. Their three-game winning streak was snapped by the Sacramento Kings on November 15 and Anthony Davis received a lot of backlash from Los Angeles fans after scoring only nine points while shooting 3-of-9 from the field in 34 minutes.
“I just played bad,” Davis said after the Lakers-Kings game. “I’m not going to put it on anything. … It was just missed shots. I just played like s— tonight. It’s that simple.”
Davis wasn’t aggressive versus the Kings. It appeared his hip injury flared up again in the second quarter.

“I’m still treating it every day,” Davis said. “Obviously, you don’t get that day to really attack it with the back-to-back. But it is what it is. I suit up, I will play. I got to be more effective. Obviously, it was still bothering me a little bit, but I still got to go out there and do my job.”
