The Sacramento Kings have shown interest in free-agent guard Gabe Vincent, adding another experienced backcourt option to their list of potential targets.
Marc Stein and Jake Fischer reported on The Stein Line that Sacramento has monitored Vincent and Kevin Porter Jr., two veteran guards who remain unrestricted free agents. The Kings’ interest in both players has been reported for several weeks.
Vincent remains available after splitting the 2025-26 season between the Los Angeles Lakers and Atlanta Hawks. He appeared in 29 games for Los Angeles, averaging 4.8 points and 1.3 assists in 19.2 minutes, before recording 3.9 points and 1.6 assists in 24 appearances with Atlanta.
The 30-year-old guard has a longer track record as a rotation player with the Miami Heat. He averaged 8.7 points and 3.1 assists in 68 games during the 2021-22 season, then posted 9.4 points and 2.5 assists across another 68 appearances in 2022-23.
Vincent also shot 36.9% from three-point range in his 29 Lakers appearances last season. His experience across Miami’s playoff runs could make him an appealing veteran addition for a Sacramento team seeking help in the backcourt.
The Kings are 1-9 through their first 10 games of the 2026-27 season. Darius Acuff Jr. has carried a significant offensive workload, averaging 25.9 points and 7.4 assists, while Malik Monk is contributing 8.6 points and 3.8 assists in a reserve role.
Sacramento’s interest in Vincent comes alongside its pursuit of Porter, who has drawn attention from four teams. Jake Fischer reported Sunday, November 8, that the Miami Heat and Portland Trail Blazers had joined the Kings and Denver Nuggets as teams interested in Porter.
The Kings also recently created additional flexibility by trading Nique Clifford to Oklahoma City. Sacramento received Utah’s 2028 second-round pick and Minnesota’s 2030 second-round pick in the deal.
