UPDATE 6/30: Vincent agreed to a three-year, $33 million extension with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The former G League standout has grown into a key contributor for Miami — Boardroom takes a closer at the Heat’s Gabe Vincent contract.
Three of the current starting five for the Miami Heat were not selected in the NBA Draft. One of those players is point guard Gabe Vincent, who went undrafted after spending four years at the University of California-Santa Barbara. Vincent’s NBA journey started in 2018 in Sacramento with a camp invite in an attempt to make the Kings roster. He was waived before the season started, and it would be more than a year before he would find his way back to the NBA.
Vincent was an Olympian in 2020, making the Nigerian national team; he was on the roster that upset Team USA the following year. But it was in 2020 when the Miami Heat extended the former G-League player a two-way contract, making him a restricted free agent. Vincent played his way solidly into the rotation and the Heat signed him to a two-year, $3 million deal.
With that in mind, let’s break down the details of the Heat’s current Gabe Vincent contract, as well as his career earnings to date.
