Vincent will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
Vincent will come off the bench Sunday due to LeBron James (foot) being back in the lineup. In his last three games off the bench, Vincent averaged 5.3 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 20.3 minutes per game.
Vincent is in the Lakers' starting lineup against the Hawks on Friday, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Rotowire
Vincent is not in the Lakers' starting lineup for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Lakers' Gabe Vincent: Fares well as starter
Rotowire
Vincent ended Sunday's 105-104 victory over the Jazz with 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 31 minutes.
Making his first start of the campaign, Vincent held his own due to Austin Reaves (pelvis), Cam Reddish (illness) and D'Angelo Russell (illness) all being sidelined. It's no secret that Vincent has had a tough season so far, but maybe he can build some confidence after this strong performance. He's a dicey fantasy option when the Lakers are healthy, to be clear.

Lakers' Gabe Vincent: Gets starting nod Sunday
Rotowire
Vincent will enter the starting lineup in Sunday's matchup against Utah, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The 28-year-old will enter the starting five for the first time this season with Austin Reaves (pelvis), Cam Reddish (illness) and D'Angelo Russell (illness) all sidelined. In his last five outings off the bench, Vincent averaged 2.4 points while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor across only 12.6 minutes per game.
Vincent contributed two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 21 minutes during Friday's 131-125 win over the Raptors.
Vincent went just 1-of-6 from the field, continuing his underwhelming start to the season. While it is great to see him healthy and back on the court after missing the majority of last season due to injury, Vincent's real-life impact is far greater than his statistical production would lead you to believe. At this stage, he would need an injury to D'Angelo Russell to have any chance at converting playing time into tangible numbers.
Lakers' Gabe Vincent: Good to go for training camp
Rotowire
General manager Rob Pelinka said Wednesday that Vincent (knee) is medically cleared to begin training camp, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
After carving out a role for himself in Miami, Vincent joined the Lakers last offseason and was expected to be a key rotational piece. However, injuries derailed that plan, as the undrafted guard out of UC Santa Barbara made only 11 regular-season appearances due to a lingering knee issue. While Vincent is healthy again, he'll have to compete for playing time with fellow backups Bronny James, Max Christie and Jalen Hood-Schifino.
