  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Won't play against OKC

    Vassell (knee) is out for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder, Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site reports.

    Vassell will miss his second straight contest Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out with left knee soreness. The 24-year-old guard's next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Utah.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Downgraded to questionable

    Vassell is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder with left knee soreness, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

    Vassell missed the second leg of San Antonio's back-to-back Saturday against Dallas for rest purposes, so it's not a good sign that he's now dealing with left knee soreness. The Spurs usually tread very carefully, and Vassell's late addition to the injury report is a worrying sign. If he can't go, players such as Stephon Castle, Tre Jones and Malaki Branham could be more involved.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Available for Tuesday

    Vassell (foot) is available for Tuesday's game against the Thunder.

    After missing Saturday's game against Dallas for the second leg of a back-to-back set, Vassell is no longer showing up on the injury report. With Victor Wembanyama (knee) listed as doubtful, Vassell could see a heavy bump in usage rate against the Thunder.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Sitting out Saturday

    Vassell won't play in Saturday's game versus the Mavericks due to right foot injury management.

    Vassell will miss the second leg of San Antonio's back-to-back Saturday as the team opts to play it cautiously due to a foot injury that kept him sidelined at the beginning of the season. The 24-year-old guard should be able to suit up for Tuesday's matchup with Oklahoma City.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Will remain in bench role

    Interim coach Mitch Johnson said Vassell will come off the bench during Monday's game against the Kings, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

    After missing time while working his way back from foot surgery, Vassell made his season debut versus Utah on Saturday, posting 21 points (8-13 FG), two assists and one rebound in 22 minutes off the bench. Johnson said the team will be "conservative" during Vassell's ramp-up period, so it may be a while before he's back to playing 30-plus minutes as a starter.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Looks sharp in season debut

    Vassell contributed 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists in 22 minutes during Saturday's 111-110 loss to the Jazz.

    Vassell certainly didn't look like someone making his 2024-25 season debut given his success on the offensive end. He led the bench in scoring by knocking down 61.5 percent of his tries from the field and drilled three triples in a tightly contested loss. Vassell was on a minutes restriction Saturday and could shoulder a similar workload over the next few games until the team feels comfortable enough to set him loose.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Will operate on minutes restriction

    Interim coach Mitch Johnson said Vassell (foot) will play in Saturday's game versus the Jazz but will come off the bench while on a minutes restriction, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

    Vassell is set to make his season debut Saturday after missing the first nine games of the 2024-25 campaign while recovering from left foot surgery. However, Vassell should play fewer than his average of 33.1 minutes per contest from last season and will be eased back into San Antonio's rotation.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Set to debut Saturday

    Vassell (foot) is expected to make his season debut Saturday against the Jazz, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. He's officially listed as probable.

    Vassell was cleared for full basketball activities Thursday, and the Spurs are likely to officially sign off on him making his debut following their morning shootaround Saturday. The 24-year-old wing missed the first few weeks of the season while on the mend from offseason foot surgery, so he'll likely be operating under a minutes restriction in his debut Saturday and could even come off the bench. Vassell is coming off a career-best 2023-24 season in which he averaged 19.5 points, 4.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 2.4 three-pointers in 33.1 minutes over his 68 appearances.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Could debut Saturday

    The Spurs have optimism that Vassell (foot) will be able to make his season debut during Saturday's game versus the Jazz, Shams Charania of ESPN reports

    Vassell has already been ruled out Thursday and has missed the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign while recovering from offseason foot surgery. While it wouldn't be surprising for the 24-year-old wing to operate under a minutes restriction early on, he should eventually reclaim a spot in the starting five.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Continues to make progress

    Vassell (foot) was cleared for all basketball activities Thursday and remains on track to debut during the team's current homestand, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

    Vassell's 2024-25 debut could arrive as early as Saturday against Portland, but his availability will likely be determined by how he fares in workouts over the next day and a half. The Spurs have yet to comment on whether he'll face a minutes restriction upon his return, but that should come into focus once he gets the green light.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Likely out at least one more game

    Vassell (foot) isn't expected to return during the team's current road trip, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

    Spurs assistant coach Mitch Johnson noted that Vassell is ramping up his activity, but he doesn't expect the 24-year-old to be able to go for the final game of the road trip Wednesday in Houston. The team could have more information on a timetable for his return within the next few days. Expect Stephon Castle and Malaki Branham to continue to see opportunities until Vassell is cleared.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Ruled out for Monday

    Vassell (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup versus the Clippers.

    Vassell has yet to make his season debut while recovering from right foot surgery. Until the 24-year-old is ready for game action, Julian Champagnie, Stephon Castle and Malaki Branham are candidates for increased playing time.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Remains sidelined Saturday

    Vassell (foot) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Timberwolves, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

    Vassell has yet to suit up this season while dealing recovering from right foot surgery. However, the 24-year-old guard was sent to the G League to progress in his rehab earlier this week, which indicates he is nearing a return to action. Until Vassell is able to play, Julian Champagnie, Stephon Castle and Malaki Branham should continue receiving increased playing time.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Rehab continues with G League trip

    San Antonio assigned Vassell (foot) to the G League's Austin Spurs earlier Monday and recalled him.

    Vassell presumably went through a training camp practice with Austin, as the veteran wing has progressed to light contact work during recent workouts. Head coach Gregg Popovich also said he's expecting Vassell to be ready for game action during the first week of November, which remains in line with his Nov. 1 re-evaluation timeline. Regardless, Vassell needed a second surgery this summer after his right foot didn't heal properly from the first one, so the Spurs will likely remain cautious even when he's cleared to suit up. Across 68 appearances last season, Vassell averaged 19.5 points, 4.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 three-pointers and 1.1 steals in 33.1 minutes.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Targeting early November return

    Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said Monday that he expects Vassell (foot) to return during the first week of November, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.

    Vassell was slated to be re-evaluated Nov. 1, so while Popovich's comments don't come as a major surprise, it implies the shooting guard remains on track with his rehab. Vassell needed a second surgery in late June after his right foot didn't heal properly from the first one, so the Spurs will likely remain cautious with him, even if the updates continue to be positive. Across 68 appearances in 2023-24, Vassell averaged 19.5 points, 4.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 three-pointers and 1.1 steals in 33.1 minutes.

  • Spurs' Devin Vassell: Will be re-evaluated Nov. 1

    Vassell (foot) will be re-evaluated Nov. 1, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

    Vassell needed a second surgery on his right foot in late June and will be cautious during rehab this time. "It just didn't heal how it was supposed to heal," Vassell said about his foot following his first surgery, which ended his 2023-24 campaign. "I don't want to rush back into it and have another setback," Vassell concluded. The young star will miss the start of the 2024-25 campaign, opening up more minutes for rookie Stephon Castle, but once he's fully healthy, Vassell should be a go-to player alongside Victor Wembanyama. Across 68 regular-season appearances last season, Vassell averaged 19.5 points, 4.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 33.1 minutes.
