Signs standard deal Gabriel signed a standard deal with the Lakers on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Initially on a two-way deal, Gabriel has played himself into a standard deal -- a move the Lakers freed up by waiving veteran Trevor Ariza. In Gabriel's past 15 appearances, he's averaged 6.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in 16.2 minutes.

APRIL 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available Friday Gabriel (ankle) is active for Friday's game against the Pelicans, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Impact Gabriel was questionable ahead of Friday's matchup, but he isn't on the list of inactives against New Orleans. He's averaged 7.2 points and 5.4 rebounds in 21.2 minutes per game across his last five appearances and will come off the bench Friday.

APRIL 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with ankle sprain Gabriel is questionable for Friday's contest against the Pelicans due to a left ankle sprain, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Gabriel presumably picked up the ankle issue during Thursday's loss to the Jazz. LeBron James (ankle) and Anthony Davis (foot) are both questionable as well, so it's unclear what the Lakers' rotation will look like until the statuses of their two stars is known.

APRIL 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will start Thursday Gabriel will start Thursday's game against the Jazz, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Impact Gabriel's four starts this season have resulted in averages of 9.5 points and 5.0 rebounds in 26.3 minutes. His workload will presumably be reduced significantly after Thursday with Anthony Davis (foot) expected to return Friday and LeBron James (ankle) on the verge of a return.

MARCH 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Thursday Gabriel (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Impact This is alarmingly important news for the Lakers, who are at serious risk of missing the play-in games. Over Gabriel's past 10 games (including four starts), he's averaged 7.2 points and 4.9 rebounds in 19.1 minutes.

MARCH 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Thursday Gabriel (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Gabriel is considered day-to-day after he sprained his left ankle in Tuesday's loss to the Mavericks. If he's unable to suit up Thursday, Stanley Johnson, Talen Horton-Tucker and Trevor Ariza should see additional run.

MARCH 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sprains ankle, day-to-day Gabriel sprained his left ankle during Tuesday's loss to the Mavericks and is day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game against the Jazz. He finished Tuesday's game with eight points (2-...

Impact This is a tough blow to the Lakers' forward depth, as LeBron James (ankle) is unlikely to play Thursday. If Gabriel is also out, more minutes could be in store for Stanley Johnson, Talen Horton-Tucker and Trevor Ariza.

MARCH 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Tuesday Gabriel will come off the bench Tuesday at Dallas, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Impact Gabriel had started the last three games, but he'll shift to the bench as the Lakers roll out their 36th unique starting five this season. With LeBron James (ankle) sidelined, Gabriel should still find a decent role off the bench.

MARCH 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

In starting five Gabriel will start Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Impact Coach Frank Vogel will go with a more defensive-minded lineup Monday, starting Gabriel at the three along with LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Austin Reaves and Russell Westbrook. Gabriel, a two-way signee, has emerged as a decent rotation player, but he's not much of a fantasy consideration.

MARCH 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will be available Gabriel (ankle) will play in Monday's game at Cleveland, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Impact Gabriel will shake off a minor ankle issue and be available as the Lakers tip off a three-game week. The two-way signee has played double-digit minutes in six straight games entering Monday.

MARCH 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Probable Monday Gabriel (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Gabriel continues to manage a left ankle sprain, but he appears likely to suit up once again Monday. He's averaged 7.2 points and 4.2 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game across his last six appearances.

Good to go Saturday Gabriel (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports. He will come off the bench.

Impact Gabriel has been getting some run lately and should remain in the rotation Saturday. Over his past five games, he's averaged 7.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 16.8 minutes.

MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Saturday Gabriel is questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards due to a left ankle sprain, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Gabriel drew the start in Friday's win over the Raptors and logged 17 points, three rebounds, two assists and a block in 25 minutes. He's dealing with an ankle injury ahead of the second half of the back-to-back set, while Austin Reaves, Dwight Howard and Trevor Ariza should see increased usage if Gabriel is unavailable.

MARCH 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 17 points in starting role Gabriel finished with 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 25 minutes during Friday's 128-123 overtime win over the Raptors.

Impact Gabriel started for the Lakers on Friday, going off for a season-high 17 points. He has now scored in double figures in back-to-back games and is someone to keep an eye on moving forward. The fact that Carmelo Anthony was ruled out due to an illness certainly helped, but with the Lakers looking for any production they can get right now, perhaps Gabriel can solidify his role.

Joins starting lineup Gabriel is starting Friday's game against the Raptors, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Gabriel logged double-digit minutes in each of his last four appearances and averaged 5.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 14.8 minutes per game during that time. Austin Reaves will come off the bench against Toronto.

Lakers Very Excited About What Wenyen Gabriel Can Do For Them The Lakers think that Wenyen Gabriel has a TON of unlocked potential, and it shows in his athleticism.

MARCH 13, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Plays ahead of Howard Gabriel finished with five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and four rebounds across 13 minutes Friday in the Lakers' 122-109 win over the Wizards.

Impact When Gabriel agreed to a two-way contract earlier in March, head coach Frank Vogel said the well-traveled fourth-year player would have the opportunity to factor into the rotation. After getting only spot minutes in the Lakers' first five games of the month, Gabriel finally saw meaningful run as a small-ball center Friday, while Dwight Howard was excluded from the rotation entirely. Howard could factor back into the mix when the Lakers oppose centers that can't stretch the floor like the Wizards' Kristaps Porzingis, but Vogel looks as though he may lean on Gabriel and LeBron James to match up with smaller, more versatile centers. For that reason, both Gabriel and Howard could have volatile roles from game to game.
