Vassell is not expected to return to game action until early November due to a stress reaction in his right foot which ended his 2023-24 campaign early, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
Vassell is more than likely to miss the start of the 2024-25 season due to a lingering foot injury. The 24-year-old was shut down and underwent surgery at the beginning of April after averaging a career-high 19.5 points, 4.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 33.1 minutes per game in 68 regular-season outings. In Vassell's absence, Stephon Castle and Malaki Branham are both candidates to pick up extra playing time.
