The Los Angeles Lakers have traded guard Gabe Vincent and a second-round pick to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Luke Kennard. Vincent has spent the last three seasons with the Lakers, averaging 5.6 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in over 20 minutes per game. He has struggled mightily on offense in 2025-26, scoring on less than 35% of his shot attempts and just over 25% of his 2PA's. Vincent is likely to come off the bench in Atlanta, with guards Dyson Daniels and C.J. McCollum carrying most of the minutes and shot attempts in this backcourt. The veteran guard hopes to bounce back in Atlanta, but remains outside of fantasy relevance for now.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (back) will remain out on Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Earlier in the day, the team downgraded Vincent from questionable to doubtful, and he has now been ruled out, marking his ninth consecutive absence. Speaking at his pregame press conference, Lakers head coach JJ Redick told reporters that he expects Vincent to be available for the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday versus the San Antonio Spurs. With Vincent out of the rotation, Nick Smith Jr. and Dalton Knecht have seen increased minutes, though neither has emerged as a reliable fantasy option.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (back) will not play Sunday against Sacramento, extending his absence to five straight games after last appearing Dec. 14. Vincent's short-term fantasy impact remains minimal after averaging 6.2 points, 0.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 21.3 minutes across his last five outings. With Austin Reaves (calf) sidelined for multiple weeks, Vincent could resurface in a secondary ballhandling role once healthy, but Luka Doncic and Marcus Smart continue to dominate guard usage. Vincent can safely be left on the wire in standard leagues.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (back) will be re-evaluated in a week after being diagnosed with lower back tightness. Vincent has played 14 games for the Lakers (six starts), but he is averaging only 4.7 points, 1.4 assists, and 0.9 rebounds per game in 21.5 minutes per game. With Austin Reaves (calf) also sidelined, Marcus Smart is lined up for as much work as he can handle. Smart started the Lakers' last game, and he'll likely get heavy minutes for as long as Vincent and Reaves are out, beginning in Thursday night's matchup against the Jazz in Utah.

Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports that Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (ankle) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Utah Jazz. Vincent has been out of action since October 26 due to a left ankle sprain. Across three appearances this season, the 29-year-old has averaged 3.7 points, 2.3 assists, 1.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 24.0 minutes per contest. In his return, Vincent will be assigned to a reserve role and won't provide enough production to make an impact in fantasy this evening.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (ankle)is expected to miss two to four weeks of action. The 29-year-old was injured during Sunday's matchup against the Sacramento Kings, leaving the arena in a walking boot. Although X-rays taken after the game were negative, Vincent will have to miss at least a couple of weeks with a left ankle sprain. Vincent began the season as a member of the first unit, but his impact was limited. Over three games, Vincent averaged 3.7 points, 2.3 assists, and 1.0 steals. With Marcus Smart (quadriceps) also out on Monday, Jarred Vanderbiltand Jake LaRavia logged their first starts of the season. Meanwhile, Dalton Knecht saw more action off the bench.

Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports that Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (ankle) will be unavailable for Monday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers after sustaining a left ankle sprain in Sunday's 127-120 win over the Kings. Marcus Smart (quadriceps) will also sit out with a right quadriceps contusion. With a significantly depleted backcourt, the Lakers will lean on Dalton Knecht and Austin Reaves to log extra minutes. Reaves is coming off the best performance of his NBA career, posting 51 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists, and two steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's victory.

According to NBA reporter Jovan Buha, Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent will start in Tuesday's opener versus the Golden State Warriors. LeBron James (back) is out, so head coach JJ Redick will roll with Vincent, Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, and Deandre Ayton to kick off the 2025 campaign. Of course, that is always subject to change moving ahead, and it likely will. For now, the 29-year-old will get some work with the first-five. Vincent wasn't consistently showcased in Redick's rotation last season, although he at least averaged 8.5 points, 2.6 assists, and 1.1 steals in 11 starts. Unfortunately, that type of production from Vincent won't do much for season-long fantasy managers. However, there is a value opportunity there for DFS participants.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) participated fully in Wednesday's practice, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports. Vincent arrived at training camp with a knee problem but was able to shake it off quickly. Vincent will continue to serve as a backup in Los Angeles this season and may see reduced playing time following the addition of Marcus Smart (Achilles). However, the 29-year-old has an opportunity to boost his stock during the preseason, as Smart deals with an Achilles issue and is ruled out for at least a week. During the previous campaign, Vincent logged 21.1 minutes per game, putting up 6.4 points.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been listed on the injury report with left knee effusion. If he can't shake off the questionable tag, Vincent would miss only his second game since the beginning of February. The backcourt may also be without Luka Doncic (groin) and Austin Reaves (ankle) on Tuesday night, freeing up a lot of playing time for the likes of Shake Milton, Jordan Goodwin, and Dalton Knecht.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. The Lakers are wrapping up a back-to-back on Friday and are giving Vincent a night off after he played 26 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Vincent's absence boosts the fantasy value of Jordan Goodwin and Shake Milton. Goodwin will start the game alongside Austin Reaves, Dalton Knecht, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Alex Len.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is not on the injury report and will be available for Wednesday's clash against the Charlotte Hornets. A sore left knee kept Vincent out of last Wednesday's meeting with the Utah Jazz. The veteran guard has had the entire All-Star break to get himself ready to play again and will be back in the fold against the Hornets. Vincent has posted double-digit points in four consecutive appearances and averages 11.8 points for the month. He has hugely improved his productivity, but as a bench piece, Vincent finds himself in a difficult spot to keep the scoring surge going.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) will not play in Wednesday's contest against the Utah Jazz. He will exit the lineup after making five consecutive appearances. Vincent has averaged 11.8 points and 3.0 assists in 23.0 minutes this month, but his role will surely change now that Luka Doncic has come to town. The Lakers head to the All-Star break following Wednesday's action, meaning Vincent's first chance to return to the lineup will come on Feb. 19 against the Charlotte Hornets. Jordan Goodwin and Shake Milton may receive more work with Vincent out on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) will be available for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks after missing the previous three games due to a left knee contusion. Before his injury, Vincent played six straight games with at least 23 minutes on the court, showing he could contribute in a key role for the Lakers. He's expected to play his typical back-up role off the bench, and with Anthony Davis (abdomen) out, the Lakers will be looking for as much production as possible from other players against a tough Knicks team.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) will not return to the lineup on Thursday against the Washington Wizards. Although there was a possibility Vincent would be ready to come back from his knee injury after being listed as questionable on the injury report, he has since been downgraded to out. Shake Milton and Bronny James Jr. will absorb Vincent's minutes on Thursday. However, they are not recommended fantasy options.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is regarded as questionable for Thursday's tilt against the Washington Wizards. An issue with his left knee might keep Vincent on the sidelines for a third consecutive game. Shake Milton and Bronny James Jr. get more of a look in the rotation with Vincent missing, but they don't provide anything to fantasy managers. Following his good spell in Brooklyn, Milton has averaged only 8.9 minutes since moving to L.A. James Jr. logged 15 minutes against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday but is shooting 6.3 percent for his debut season.

Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports that Los Angeles Lakers point guardGabe Vincent(knee) will not play against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. Vincent was questionable earlier in the day, but he will be out of action due to soreness in his left knee. The 28-year-old has played in 39 games during this year's campaign, averaging 4.9 points, 1.3 assists, and 1.3 rebounds in 20.0 minutes per contest. While Vincent is sidelined, Dalton Knecht andMax Christie could see expanded roles in the Lakers rotation.

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He has missed six games this season and is in danger of missing this one because of left knee soreness. Vincent likely picked up an injury in Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors where he had seven points and two assists. This season, Vincent has played in 39 games averaging 4.9 points, 1.3 assists, 1.3 rebounds, and 3.0 threes per game.

According to Jovan Buha of The Athletic, Los Angeles Lakers guardGabe Vincent(oblique) will likely play against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. Vincent was previously listed as questionable, but he's since been upgraded to probable. The 28-year-old had previously missed four games in a row due to an oblique injury. He's struggled this season, shooting 33.0 percent from three-point range, and if available this evening, Vincent won't make much of an impact in fantasy.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (oblique) will not play on Sunday against Houston. He has been downgraded from doubtful to out. This will be his fourth consecutive game missed due to an oblique injury. With Vincent out of commission, Shake Milton has more playing opportunities. However, the veteran guard has only had a small role with the Lakers since coming over from Brooklyn. He has averaged 4.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 13.3 minutes as a Laker.
