Lakers' Point Guard Gabe Vincent to Undergo Knee Surgery, Out for 6-8 Weeks
LeBron James steps up as point guard in Vincent's absence, leading to win against Thunder, but future of Lakers' point guard rotation remains uncertain.
- Gabe Vincent, the Los Angeles Lakers' point guard, will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and is expected to be out for 6-8 weeks.
- Vincent, who signed a three-year, $33 million contract with the Lakers this past offseason, has only played in five games this season due to his knee injury.
- In Vincent's absence, LeBron James has started as the point guard, replacing D'Angelo Russell, which resulted in a win against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
- Despite the win, the Lakers' point guard rotation remains uncertain, raising questions about whether they will continue with James as their starting point guard or trade for a new one.
- Vincent was a key figure in the Miami Heat's last postseason, averaging 12.7 points in 22 games.
