But the Lakers’ new All-Star tandem of Doncic and a very old LeBron James didn’t last particularly long, without much reliable depth beyond guard Austin Reaves and forwards Rui Hachimura and Dorian Finney-Smith. Los Angeles fell to the No. 6-seeded Minnesota Timberwolves in five games. The team’s obvious lack of reliable rim protection and JJ Redick’s refusal to…

However, due to a left knee effusion injury, Vincent only played in 11 games for the purple and gold in 2023-24.
