The Lakers announced Thursday that Vincent (knee) is progressing in his recovery and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
While Vincent seems to be trending in the right direction, he'll have to wait at least two more weeks due to his knee injury, with the chance that he'll be sidelined even longer. Max Christie and Cam Reddish should continue to see increased run for the Lakers in Vincent's continued absence.

Lakers' Gabe Vincent: Out two more weeks
Rotowire
The Lakers announced Thursday that Vincent will be out for at least the next two weeks with a left knee effusion, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
According to McMenamin, the Lakers first plan to re-evaluate Vincent at the end of the two-week period, so he can be ruled out for at least the next seven games, with a high likelihood he misses additional contests beyond that. The Lakers have had some tough luck in the injury department early on in the season, but Vincent's absence could pave the way for younger players such as Max Christie and Cam Reddish to see more opportunities on the second unit.
