Will begin year as backupVincent will begin the 2023-24 season as the Lakers' backup point guard, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Advice: Vincent signed a three-year, $33 million contract to join the Lakers this offseason. While he started in 34 of his 68 appearances last year for Miami and was crucial to the Heat's NBA Finals run, D'Angelo Russell is set to be Los Angeles' starting point guard. However, Vincent figures to be one of the team's first options off the bench and provides quality perimeter defense. Rotowire.comGabe Vincent LAL - PG,SG -
Set to start at point guardCoach Darvin Ham said Thursday that Russell is set to start at point guard for the 2023-24 season, Brad Turner of The Los Angeles Times reports.
Advice: Russell agreed to a two-year, $37 million contract to stay with the Lakers this offseason. While he did start in all of his 71 appearances last year, the addition of Gabe Vincent brought Russell's role into question. However, it appears the Lakers have confidence in Russell's status as the team's starting point guard after he averaged 17.8 points, 6.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 32.5 minutes per game during the 2022-23 season.

Advice: Christie suffered a right hip strain during Summer League play but should be good to go for training camp. Christie made 41 appearances for the Lakers in 2022-23 and should compete for a depth role this season. Rotowire.comMax Christie LAL - SG,SF -
Good to go for training campLakers coach Darvin Ham said Thursday that Hood-Schifino (groin) is expected to be healthy for the start of training camp Tuesday, Dan Woike of The Los Angeles Times reports.
Advice: Hood-Schifino missed the Lakers' final Summer League due to a groin injury but is expected to be healthy for training camp. The rookie guard will likely compete for a depth role in the backcourt this season. Rotowire.comJalen Hood-Schifino LAL - PG,SG -
Let go by HeatThe Heat waived Daniels on Wednesday.
Advice: Daniels averaged 4.8 points and 1.0 rebounds for the Heat in the 2023 Summer League. The rookie guard will head into the 2023-24 season as a free agent. Rotowire.comCaleb Daniels MIA - SGNA -
Agrees to two-way deal with MiamiThe Heat signed Hampton to a two-way contract Wednesday, Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel reports.
Advice: Hampton made 47 NBA appearances between the Magic and Pistons in 2022-23, averaging 6.4 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 16.0 minutes. The 22-year-old guard will take Jamaree Bouyea's two-way spot and should split time between the Heat and the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the G League this season. Rotowire.comR.J. Hampton MIA - PG,SG -
Cleared for training campClippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank said Wednesday that George (knee) will be a full participant at training camp, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Advice: George missed the final eight games of the 2022-23 regular season as well as the postseason due to a right knee sprain. He was slated to resume workouts at the end of May, so it's not surprising to see him good to go for training camp. Kawhi Leonard (knee) is also expected to be a full participant, so with their two superstars back in action, the Clippers could work their way back into championship contention. Before the injury, George was playing at an extremely high level, averaging 25.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.4 steals in 36.0 minutes across 22 appearances.
