"Vincent suffered the injury early in the third quarter of L.A.'s 127-120 road win over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. He left the arena in a walking boot, and he told ESPN that X-rays taken after the game came back negative. He arrived at Crypto.com Arena on crutches for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers."
"Vincent started L.A.'s first three games of the season in place of LeBron James, who has been out because of sciatica affecting his lower back and right side. Vincent, 29, earned the spot after a strong preseason, in which he averaged 16.3 points on 47.4% shooting (55.6% from 3), 3.0 assists and 1.0 rebounds in four games."
""We're not expecting Austin to go out and score 51 again," Lakers coach JJ Redick said before the game against the Blazers. "I don't expect anybody to do more than they're capable of doing. What we challenged the guys on before the game was playing with an edge.""
Gabe Vincent is expected to miss two to four weeks after an MRI confirmed a sprained left ankle suffered early in the third quarter of L.A.'s 127-120 road win over the Sacramento Kings. He left the arena in a walking boot, told ESPN that X-rays taken after the game were negative, and arrived at Crypto.com Arena on crutches for Monday's game against Portland. Vincent had started the first three games in place of LeBron James after a strong preseason (16.3 points, 47.4% shooting). The Lakers were undermanned with multiple players sidelined, and Austin Reaves produced a career-high 51 points in Sacramento.
