Vassell accumulated four points (2-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt) over 25 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 loss to Minnesota. Vassell was held to single-digit points for the second time this season, with both of those coming over the past three outings. He's still been productive in December, however, posting averages of 16.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers. He's doing that in just 26.7 minutes as well, so fantasy managers will be hoping his minutes trend up after the new year.

Vassell ended with 23 points (9-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-4 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 30 minutes off the bench during Friday's 118-116 win over the Trail Blazers. The fifth-year guard was the only Spur on the second unit to score more than eight points. Vassell has made only 10 appearances so far this season due to a variety of injuries, but he's been productive of late, scoring at least 14 points in five of his last six contests, averaging 17.8 points, 3.0 boards, 2.7 assists, 2.7 threes and 1.3 steals while shooting 52.6 percent from the floor and an impressive 50.0 percent (16-for-32) from long distance.

Vassell (foot) is not on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Pelicans. Vassell didn't play in the 140-113 loss against the Kings on Friday due to injury management, but he should be ready to handle his regular workload off the bench Sunday. Vassell has played off the bench in each of his eight appearances this season, averaging 17.8 points, 2.6 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 23.5 minutes per contest.

Vassell had 25 points (10-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 104-93 loss to Phoenix. Vassell led the team with a season-high total from the second unit. His numbers are tending up after a five-game absence, and although his injury struggles have kept him out of the starting lineup, he's adjusting well to a sixth-man role in the short term. Stephon Castle is playing well enough to keep Vassell in the second unit, but the latter occasionally plays alongside Castle at the wing in certain situations.

Vassell provided 21 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three assists and one block over 24 minutes during Sunday's 127-125 win over the Kings. Making just his sixth appearance of the regular season, Vassell matched his season high of 21 points. The Spurs have been extremely cautious with Vassell thus far, limiting his minutes and holding him out for at least one game during back-to-back sets. It's fair to expect that to be the case for the foreseeable future.
