San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It appears Vassell picked up a right wrist contusion during Monday's contest against the Mavs. The Spurs could be shorthanded for this game with Jeremy Sochan (calf) listed as questionable as well. Keldon Johnson is coming off a 28-point outing and is looking like an excellent streaming option for Wednesday. Julian Champagnie and Stephon Castle could be looking at extended run as well. |

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (foot) will exit the lineup on Friday against Sacramento. This is the second leg of a back-to-back for the Spurs, and Vassell will be rested for the contest as he continues to manage a right foot injury. Vassell has been used as a microwave scorer off the bench this season. He's averaged 17.8 points in 23.5 minutes across eight outings. His absence on Friday will give his teammates a lot of additional scoring opportunities. With Victor Wembanyama (back) also on the shelf, Keldon Johnson will be expected to lead the offense alongside Chris Paul and Jeremy Sochan. Johnson scored a team-high 28 points in Thursday's 139-124 loss to Chicago. |

Vassell had a bench role in the few games he played earlier in the season, but he's previously been a starter for San Antonio and will likely threaten Stephon Castle's spot in the first unit once he's fully up to speed. |

According to independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan, San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder due to left knee soreness. Vassell didn't play the second half of San Antonio's back-to-back Saturday against Dallas for rest purposes. However, the 24-year-old's late addition to the injury could cause some concern. If Vassell cannot suit up, Stephon Castle, Malaki Branham, and Tre Jones could see an uptick in minutes on the court. |

San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Spurs are managing Vassell's recovery from foot surgery with it being the second night of a back-to-back. The 24-year-old missed the first nine games of the season but has been able to play in the last four, averaging 16.3 PPG off the bench. Fantasy managers shouldn't worry much about his absence, especially considering the Spurs are being proactive for his health. Expect him to return in the Spurs' next game on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. In the meantime, expect guys like Malaki Branham and Keldon Johnson to get more volume off the bench tonight. |

Fri Nov 8 2024 | 23:51 | Devin Vassell Expected To Return On Saturday |
San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell (foot) is probable heading into Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 24-year-old is coming off a solid season, averaging a career-high 19.5 points in 68 games. Unfortunately, he suffered a stress fracture late in March and has been working his way back since. Without question, Vassell has untapped potential. While there's an excellent chance he'll be even more productive during the 2024-25 campaign, it could take him a few weeks to get back up to speed. It's unknown if Vassell will come off the bench or start in his first game back, whenever that will be. But he will likely see limited minutes, meaning Stephon Castle, coming off a 14-point, six-assist showing, could see at least a few more starts. |

Thu Nov 7 2024 | 17:58 | Devin Vassell Could Make Season Debut On Saturday |
San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Vassell has yet to play this season while he recovers from foot surgery. The organization was hopeful he'd return during the first week of November, but that didn't happen. Although, there's hope that Vassell could make his season debut against the Utah Jazz on Saturday. Fantasy managers should expect Vassell to be limited during his first few games. However, Vassell should be a solid fantasy asset once he's back to full health. Stephon Castle should take a hit in playing time once Vassell is ready to go again. |

Tue Nov 5 2024 | 10:19 | Devin Vassell To Remain On The Shelf During Road Trip |
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (foot) is not expected to join the team for Wednesday's visit to Houston. Interim head coach Mitch Johnson has said he doesn't believe Vassell will be ready for Wednesday's game. However, according to Johnson, Vassell is "ramping up" and could be back "soon." Vassell is recovering from foot surgery and hasn't yet featured for the Spurs this season. Julian Champagnie is filling in for him in the starting lineup. He will lose a big chunk of fantasy value when Vassell returns. |

Fri Sep 27 2024 | 22:55 | Devin Vassell Out Until At Least November |
San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell (foot) is anticipated to miss the start of the season. The 2020 No. 11 overall pick averaged a career-high 19.5 points last season. Unfortunately, he suffered a stress fracture in his right foot and was sidelined near the end of the 2023-24 campaign. An update on Vassell's status isn't expected until November 1, although it's unknown when he'll be back on the floor. Without question, the latest update won't earn him attention from fantasy managers heading into the year, especially since he remains without a firm return date. To make matters worse, it should take him time to ramp up to his usual workload once cleared. But until Vassell is back, Malaki Branham, averaging 11.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 29 starts last season, will likely take his place in the rotation. |

Mon Apr 1 2024 | 21:19 | Devin Vassell Done For The Season |
San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (foot) has been ruled out for the rest of the season. Vassell was a late scratch on Sunday, and additional testing revealed a stress reaction in the third metatarsal. The Spurs didn't mention anything about surgery, but they've decided to shut down Vassell in what has become a lost season for the team. Vassell lived up to the fantasy hype this season, but sadly he'll have his 2023 campaign cut short. Malaki Branham figures to remain in the starting five which should give him a boost in fantasy value going forward. |

Sun Mar 31 2024 | 17:32 | Devin Vassell Ruled Out For Sunday |
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (foot) won't play against Golden State on Sunday. He was a late addition to the injury report with a sore left foot and a questionable tag, and Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich has now officially ruled him out. With Jeremy Sochan (ankle) also absent on Sunday, San Antonio is set to have two new starters. The team will be missing its third-best scorer, Keldon Johnson, as well, meaning a number of players have an opportunity to fill bigger roles. However, it's impossible to project who steps up behind Victor Wembanyama and Tre Jones. Julian Champagnie, Cedi Osman, Malaki Branham, and ... [ More] |

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (hip) will play versus the Golden State Warriors on Monday. As expected, Vassell will play after being listed as probable ahead of this game. The expectation is that he'll play his normal role after missing Saturday's contest due to a left hip contusion. Malaki Branham will head to the second unit and have a decreased role with Vassell returning. Branham is still worth holding in deep leagues considering he dropped 20 points during their last game. |

Vassell appears to be back on track to play after missing Saturday's game due to a left hip contusion. Malaki Branham figures to move back to the second unit with Vassell likely returning on Monday.

Wed Dec 6 2023 | 10:29 | Devin Vassell Probable For Wednesday |
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (knee) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota. The 23-year-old is managing a left knee issue but should be good to go for the game. Vassell has been coming off the bench lately, but he's still remained a productive player, even leading the team in scoring on a couple of occasions across the last five matches. Minnesota gives up the 12th most points in the league to bench players, which puts Vassell in a good spot to perform on Wednesday. However, the Timberwolves also currently boast the league's best defensive efficiency, and that might complicate things for him and the rest of the Spurs. |

Tue Dec 5 2023 | 18:27 | Zach Collins, Devin Vassell Likely To Suit Up Wednesday |
San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (thumb) and forward Devin Vassell (knee) are both listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Neither player missed last Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans with their respective injuries, so their designations on San Antonio's injury report come off as mere formalities after five days off. Collins is struggling with turnovers (2.8 per game) alongside the ultra-talented Victor Wembanyama in the Spurs frontcourt, but he's still averaging a solid 13.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.1 treys in 29.2 minutes over 19 games ahead of a tough draw against Minnesota's vaunted frontcourt. Vassell is still working to get back into head coach Gregg Popovich's starting five after missing five games earlier in the year with an adductor strain, averaging an efficient 20.0 points, 3.2 threes, and 1.0 swipes in 26.8 minutes over his last five appearances from the bench. |

Wed Nov 22 2023 | 19:59 | Devin Vassell Officially Available On Wednesday |
San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Vassell said earlier in the day that he would play and he was right as he has been cleared to play. It's worth noting that Vassell is going to come off the bench during his first game back. Malaki Branham will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game. The Spurs are likely going to monitor Vassell's minutes, so he won't be a great streaming option on Wednesday. It might take a few games before he's back up to full speed. |

Wed Nov 22 2023 | 15:42 | Devin Vassell Says He Will Return Against Clippers |
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) told reporters that he'll be back from a three-game absence for Wednesday's game versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Vassell downplayed the effects of his left adductor strain, calling it a nagging issue that the Spurs are just being cautious about after it was re-aggravated. San Antonio has not yet updated the status of the 23-year-old swingman on the official injury report, but we'll take his word for it, unless he suffers a setback sometime between morning shootaround and pregame warmups. Vassell could face a minutes restriction in his return, but he's averaging a sharp 17.3 points, 3.6 assists, and 2.4 threes in 28.9 minutes across nine games. Vassell's return would unplug Julian Champagnie from head coach Gregg Popovich's starting lineup, but he wasn't getting the job done as a fantasy streamer while averaging 6.7 points and 1.7 threes in 22.7 minutes over his three starts. |

Tue Nov 21 2023 | 19:03 | Devin Vassell Iffy Wednesday Against Clippers |
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Vassell has missed three consecutive contests and five overall with a left adductor strain, which he initially sustained on Nov. 2 against the Phoenix Suns. It's fair to wonder if the 23-year-old swingman may have returned too soon, as he was originally set to miss approximately a week or two of play before unexpectedly returning only six days later on Nov. 8. Vassell is putting forth a continuation of his 2022-23 breakout, averaging 17.3 points, 3.6 assists, and 2.4 threes in 28.9 minutes across nine games. St. John's product Julian Champagnie has acted as the primary beneficiary in Vassell's stead, but he's only averaging 6.7 points and 1.7 threes in 22.7 minutes covering three starts. |
