Unexpected turn, the Lakers want to trade Gabe Vincent, returning date revealed

The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to strengthen their backcourt after most of the season the only point guard available has been D'Angelo Russell because of Gabe Vincent's injuries and left knee surgery he underwent a couple of months ago.

While many rumors and reports have the Lakers trying to make a trade with Vincent as an asset, NBA insider Jake Fischer from Yahoo! Sports has revealed the return window date for the point guard is still one month away.

“Lakers guard Gabe Vincent, who’s become included in Los Angeles’ outgoing trade conversations, sources said, appears on track to return by early March. Vincent underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee during the final days of December. He was given an 8-10 week recovery period and has so far been recuperating on schedule, sources said.” Wrote Jake Fischer.

With Gabe Vincent's return approaching, and current Jarred Vanderbilts injury, the plans for the Lakers organization have changed and they could now focus on getting a wing over a point guard, especially with D'Angelo Russell significantly improving his game.
