The search seems to be complete. After over a year of scrambling for their identity, the Lakers just might have found that. The 5-1 record in the last 6 games certainly indicates towards that. But it wouldn’t look like the Lakers if there wasn’t a minor inconvenience amid the good times. Bronny James, who has been posting up numbers in G League could now get some extended minutes for the LA side. And that’s where the issue lies.
According to Dan Woike, “The Lakers will be without G Gabe Vincent tonight in Charlotte, a source tells the LA Times. The team just recalled Bronny James from South Bay.” Gabe Vincent, who was finding his rhythm in recent games off the bench, now joins the lengthy Lakers injury report ahead of the Hornets game. While the franchise called up Bronny to fix the issue, the Lakers nation was not amused, for various reasons.
Taking to X, the stunned fans expressed their concerns over the decision and many were foreseeing a trade they craved. “Gabe and Rui out huh? Interesting,” a fan pointed out. The interesting part here is the assumption of a trade. According to fan lore, a player is often taken out of the team on the pretext of injury just before a trade. Is it the case here too?
