Just when the Los Angeles Lakers were already short-handed, they lost another player to an injury on Sunday while taking on the Sacramento Kings.
They were already without LeBron James, who is out until at least mid-November with sciatica, Luka Doncic, who will be re-evaluated in about one week after sustaining a sprained finger and leg contusion and Jaxson Hayes, who has knee soreness. Early in the third quarter of Sunday’s game, guard Gabe Vincent exited with a sprained ankle.
Per Mike Trudell, Vincent will not return to the game. He had missed all four of his shot attempts in 19 minutes of playing time before getting hurt.
The Lakers have still been hanging tough despite all their injuries, however. With 4:48 left in the fourth quarter, they took a 114-106 lead, largely thanks to Austin Reaves, who tied his career high with 45 points while also dishing off nine assists and adding eight rebounds.
