Drills two triples in return Vincent (back) recorded six points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 107-91 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Vincent had been sidelined for the Lakers' previous nine games due to a lumbar strain before making his return to action Wednesday. Prior to the contest, head coach JJ Redick said that Vincent would be capped at around 18 minutes, and the veteran guard ended up reaching that limit before he was kept on the bench for the rest of the night. Though Vincent may see his playing-time restriction pushed up a bit in the Lakers' next game Friday versus the Bucks, he's averaging just 21.3 minutes per contest on the season and is unlikely to see his role grow in a major way so long as most of Los Angeles' key contributors are available.

Not listed on injury report Vincent (back) is not being listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup with the Spurs.

Impact Vincent is set to return from a nine-game absence Wednesday evening, so he'll likely have his minutes monitored. With Vincent back in the mix, there might be fewer minutes available for Nick Smith and Marcus Smart.

Downgraded to doubtful Vincent (back) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Vincent is unlikely to play due to a lumbar back strain, which is set to have cost him nine consecutive games. His expected absence leaves the door open for Nick Smith and Dalton Knecht to stick in the Lakers' rotation, though neither player figures to see enough playing time to warrant much streaming consideration.

Questionable for Tuesday Vincent (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Vincent has been upgraded to questionable after missing the Lakers' last eight games due to a back strain. If the 29-year-old guard is cleared to play Tuesday, fewer minutes will be available for the likes of Nick Smith and Dalton Knecht. Across six appearances (two starts) in December, Vincent averaged 5.7 points while shooting 33.3 percent from the field in 21.2 minutes per contest.

Impact Vincent hasn't played since Dec. 14 due to a back injury, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday against New Orleans. While the 29-year-old guard will remain sidelined Sunday, Redick said that he's hopeful Vincent will participate in practice Saturday. With the seventh-year pro unavailable, Nick Smith and Dalton Knecht will likely see increased playing time.

Won't go Friday Vincent (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Vincent will miss his seventh straight outing due to a back injury, and he should be considered highly questionable for Sunday's rematch against Memphis. With the 29-year-old guard remaining on the shelf, Nick Smith will likely continue to see increased minutes.

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.
