Gabe Vincent was anticipated to be a key rotational player in Los Angeles after signing a three-year, $33 million contract last summer, following his contribution to Miami’s NBA Finals run.
However, he appeared in only the team’s initial four games before being sidelined for seven weeks due to a left knee effusion. Although he made a brief return for one game, medical evaluations determined that surgery was necessary for his knee.
“I really don’t want to even get into it too much,” LeBron James responded when asked about Vincent. “Don’t put too much pressure on him. When he’s ready to go, it will be a bonus for our team but he’s been out for quite a while.
“So, whenever he’s ready, we’ll welcome him back with open arms as a brother of ours, as a teammate of ours and we’ve been waiting on him, but at the end of the day, we’re putting no pressure on him. He needs to take his time.”
