Iffy to play Thursday Vincent (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Utah, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Impact Vincent is working through low back soreness, which puts him in jeopardy of missing Thursday's game. With Austin Reaves (calf) sidelined, Dalton Knecht and Jake LaRavia would be poised for more minutes off the bench if Vincent is not cleared to play.

Sinks four triples vs. Boston Vincent tallied 18 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one assist and one rebound over 30 minutes during the Lakers' 126-105 loss to the Celtics on Friday.

Impact Vincent's season-high point total was six points heading into Friday's contest, but he was thrust into a bigger offensive role due to the absences of Luka Doncic (personal) and LeBron James (sciatica/foot). Vincent ended up leading the Lakers with a season-high four triples and finished second on the team in scoring behind Austin Reaves (36 points). Vincent could revert to a bench role Sunday against the 76ers if one or both of Doncic and James were cleared to return.

Hits two triples in return Vincent (ankle) finished with six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and one assist in 16 minutes Tuesday in the Lakers' 140-126 win over the Jazz.

Impact While LeBron James' (sciatica) season debut captured most of the headlines, Vincent's return from an extended absence of his own helped bring the Los Angeles rotation back to full strength for the first time in 2025-26. Vincent had started in the Lakers' first three games before going down with a slight ligament tear and sprain of his left ankle, but James' return relegated the veteran guard to the bench. Vincent knocked down a couple outside shots and was a plus-15 during his time on the court, but he's unlikely to be in line for much more than the 16 minutes he received Tuesday while the Lakers have all of their key guards and wings available.

Available for Tuesday Vincent (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Tuesday is set to be Vincent's first appearance since Oct. 26 in Sacramento. The veteran guard is in line to play a reserve role in the Lakers' backcourt, likely leaving him with minimal fantasy appeal. For the year, Vincent has averaged 3.7 points, 2.3 assists, 1.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 24.0 minutes per game over three outings.

Iffy for Tuesday Vincent (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Vincent hasn't played since Oct. 26 due to a left ankle sprain, though he appears to be nearing a return to game action. While the 29-year-old guard will likely face restrictions whenever he is cleared to play, his return could mean fewer minutes for Bronny James and Dalton Knecht.
