Exits for locker room Vincent left Sunday's game against the Kings due to an apparent ankle injury, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

Invisible in loss Vincent amassed three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Vincent drew the start Tuesday, but his impact on this game was quiet limited. The offense in Los Angeles will run through Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves while LeBron James (sciatica) is sidelined, and if Tuesday was any indication, Vincent will struggle to hold much fantasy appeal despite his role as a starter.

Impact The Lakers weren't expected to win this match due to the conservative approach they are taking with their starters. With Luka Doncic (rest) riding the pine, Vincent assumed the point guard role and found great success beyond the arc, draining six three-pointers in the loss. It's an ecouraging line for Vincent, who will be quire useful as a second-unit replacement.

The 29-year-old guard appeared in a career-high 72 regular-season games (11 starts) in 2024-25, during which he averaged 6.4 points and 1.4 assists across 21.2 minutes per game. He's expected to back up Luka Doncic in the 2025-26 campaign.

Drops team-high 16 points Vincent scored 16 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), adding five assists in 19 minutes during Sunday's 111-103 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Vincent made his preseason debut after missing the opening game against the Suns, moving into the starting lineup alongside Jake LaRavia. With both LeBron James (pinched nerve) and Luka Doncic (rest) still sidelined, Los Angeles has been able to mix up its rotation, getting a good look at some projected role players such as Vincent. While this was an encouraging performance, Vincent has more competition for minutes this season. He will likely battle for minutes against the likes of LaRavia, Marcus Smart and Nick Smith Jr.
