Gabe Vincent Considering Knee Surgery
by Arthur Hill
Lakers guard Gabe Vincent is “strongly considering” surgery to address the left knee issues that have sidelined him for most of the season, tweets Shams Charania of The Athletic. The operation would include a projected recovery timetable of about six to eight weeks, Charania adds.
Vincent and his advisors are “exhausting all other options” before committing to surgery, adds Dave McMenamin of ESPN (Twitter link).
Lakers coach Darvin Ham addressed Vincent’s condition tonight in a pre-game session with reporters, saying he’s experiencing “a little bit of swelling” in the knee and the team is trying to determine the best way to deal with it (Twitter link). Vincent has played just five games this season, and his 14-minute appearance Wednesday night was his only on-court action since October 30.
After helping Miami reach the NBA Finals last season, Vincent signed a three-year, $33MM contract with L.A. in July. His $10.5MM salary for this season will jump to $11MM next year and $11.5MM for 2025/26.
The Lakers were planning to use Vincent as a primary ball-handler, either as a starter or off the bench, but the knee effusion has prevented him from establishing any kind of rhythm with his new teammates. He’s averaging 5.4 points, 1.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 25.4 minutes per night while shooting just 37.5% from the floor and 11.8% from three-point range.

How do you address a contusion surgically? Drain it?
Oh effusion. Not sure I know what that is but it reminds me of when Pierce was having his knee drained
That's one guy I don't need to see tomorrow, Gabe Vincent

Kristaps Porzingis (left ankle sprain) is questionable after he missed the Clippers game. Porzingis tweaked that ankle in the Kings victory, so it appeared the C’s were cautious with their big man as he’s also coming back from a left calf strain. Luke Kornet, who’s missed the past six games, is also probable with with a left adductor strain. That’s notable as he’s been a main rotation player. However, big man Neemias Queta has continued to show strong play as he’s put up a double-double in two of the past three games. To wrap up the injury report, Svi Mykhailiuk (left heel contusion) and Lamar Stevens (non-COVID illness) are both questionable.

Raiders beat the Chiefs...... nice to see.
Raiders had a rookie QB who can't complete a pass to save his life after the 1Q but they ran the ball down the Chief's throats for the win.
A couple of quik-six TO's killed KC.
Raider's defense and O-Line simply top notch! Passing offense way beyond awful!
And I do get tired of watching TaylorS squeal with gurly delight to the camera every time her main squeeze TravisK makes a catch.

Getting things slightly back under control in the third. Dammit, another step back three by JT to end the quarter, That has to stop. If JT can't blow past his man, then let JH or DW have the last shot. They are crafty enough to get to the basket.

1st thing I noticed was a failure to convert threes by the C's ... stats confirm at just 32.5%
Can we take it to the rim moar?
25-30 twos vs 13-40 threes!
