Vassell (knee) has officially been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
As expected, Vassell won't be available for Saturday's contest due to a left knee contusion. While it was mentioned in a previous report from Tynan that Vassell may miss multiple games, he'll have until Tuesday to recover. San Antonio will kick off a back-to-back set Tuesday night against the Jazz. With Vassell on the sidelines, Malaki Branham and Stephon Castle should see plenty of action.
