LOS ANGELES — Modesto native and St. Mary's High School graduate Gabe Vincent is headed to Los Angeles, the Associated Press reports.
Vincent agreed to a three-year, $33 million deal to join the Los Angeles Lakers Friday. The agreement comes after the 27-year-old Miami Heat point guard played a prominent role in his now-former team's 2023 trip to the NBA Finals where they fell to the Denver Nuggets.
Vincent, who played for the G-League Stockton Kings after graduating from UC Santa Barbara, averaged 9.4 points per game last season and had five 20-point games in the postseason, according to ESPN.
At his alma mater St. Mary's High School in Stockton, Vincent's old jersey is framed and hangs in the school's main gym.
