Team Nigeria NBA star Gabe Vincent's net worth in 2023 is $8 million. Vincent is a professional basketball player who recently signed to play for the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA. He is an
NBA G League Most Improved Player award winner.
Vincent's net worth in 2023 is $8 million. This is according to reputable outlets such as CA Knowledge.
Vincent was born on June 14, 1996, in Modesto, Calif. He studied at St. Mary's High School. He averaged 22.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game during his senior year, en route to leading the St. Mary's with a dominant 27-2 win-loss card. Coming out of high school, Vincent was considered to be a two-star recruit by ESPN.
Nevertheless, he still received scholarship offers from various college basketball programs, including Utah State, San Jose State, Sacramento State, Portland, Cal Poly, Pacific, and UC Santa Barbara. Vincent would go on to play for UC Santa Barbara.
Vincent played for the Gauchos for four years, maxing out his years of NCAA eligibility. In four seasons, Vincent averaged 12.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per outing. After four years, Vincent declared for the 2018 NBA Draft. Unfortunately, not a single NBA team was interested in drafting the guard out of UC Santa Barbara.
After going undrafted in the 2018 NBA Draft, the Sacramento Kings signed Vincent on an Exhibit 10 contract. Exhibit 10 deals can pay as much as $50,000 if a player plays well enough to have his contract converted into a two-way deal or if a player plays for the G League affiliate for at least 60 days. With the ruling, it's safe to say that Vincent received his payout after playing 24 of the Kings' 51 games during the regular season.
In the 2018-19 season, he averaged 8.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. A season later, Vincent found himself traded midway through the season that saw him get shipped to the Sioux Falls Skyforce. Nevertheless, his numbers jumped up to 20.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game. For his efforts, Vincent was named NBA G League Most Improved Player.
While spending time with Miami Heat's G League affiliate, Sioux Falls Skyforce, Vincent earned a two-way contract with the Miami Heat. This allowed him to finally make it to the NBA during the 2019-20 season.
In only nine games, Vincent's first NBA season saw him average 2.4 points, 0.6 rebounds, and 0.7 assists per game. Furthermore, the Heat would go all the way to the NBA Finals that year in the NBA Bubble but rarely utilized Vincent's services. Unfortunately, the Heat would get outplayed by the Lakers in five games to surrender the NBA championship.
Later that year, Vincent would sign a two-way qualifying offer with the Heat. The two-way deal paid Vincent another $50,000. Vincent was a fixture in the Heat's rotation by appearing in 50 games. The UCSB guard averaged 4.8 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game.
Before the 2021-22 season, the Heat signed Vincent to a two-year contract worth $3.48 million, according to Spotrac. Penciled in to be part of the Heat's long-term future, Vincent made an impact as part of the Heat's second unit. He averaged 8.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 0.9 steals per game.
A season later, Vincent tallied his best NBA season yet. The 6-foot-3 guard registered a career-high 9.4 points per outing to go alongside 2.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. Furthermore, Vincent would help the Heat make a return to the NBA Finals.
Unfortunately, the Heat couldn't surpass the Denver Nuggets, as they conceded in five games. In the 2023 NBA Playoffs, Vincent averaged 12.7 points, 3.5 assists and 1.4 rebounds per game and was the third-leading scorer for the Heat during the NBA Finals.
