Lakers' Gabe Vincent: Downgraded to doubtful

Vincent (back) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Vincent is unlikely to play due to a lumbar back strain, which is set to have cost him nine consecutive games. His expected absence leaves the door open for Nick Smith and Dalton Knecht to stick in the Lakers' rotation, though neither player figures to see enough playing time to warrant much streaming consideration.
