The Los Angeles Lakers' regret for signing Gabe Vincent to a three-year $33 million contract in 2023 continues to grow as the guard’s struggles get worse. He is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, but shot just 23.1 percent from the field and scored 3.7 points per game in the first three contests. The Lakers started him after a strong preseason, but it was clearly fool’s gold.
Vincent was a starter for the Heat on the 2023 squad that reached the NBA Finals. Los Angeles thought they were signing a guard just entering his prime, capable of spacing the floor, holding his own defensively, and making plays.
