Charles Bassey News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs

Links up with San Antonio Bassey agreed Monday with the Spurs on a two-way contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact After a solid rookie season in which he averaged 3.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game in just 7.3 minutes per contest over 23 appearances, Bassey was unable to win a secure a spot on the 76ers' opening night roster coming out of training camp. The 21-year-old didn't take long to land elsewhere, but he'll still function as little more than a depth piece at center behind Jakob Poeltl, Zach Collins and Gorgui Dieng. Bassey could end up seeing most of his action with the G League's Austin Spurs if all the veteran centers on the depth chart for the NBA team maintain health.

Impact The rookie was out of commission for nearly a month due to a shoulder injury, but he'll be back to active status as the Sixers tip off their second-round series. Bassey hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Feb. 15, so even with Joel Embiid (face) sidelined, he's unlikely to make much of an impact.

Assigned to G League Bassey was assigned to the G League on Tuesday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Called up from G League The 76ers recalled Bassey from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Thursday, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Paul Millsap has been operating as the primary backup to center Joel Embiid over the past five games, but he's found little success in that role, averaging just 4.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.4 three-pointers and 0.2 blocks in 11.2 minutes while shooting 47.1 percent from the field. The Sixers are rumored to be targeting the recently waived DeAndre Jordan to shore up their frontcourt depth, but until Jordan is officially added to the roster, head coach Doc Rivers may be inclined to give Bassey a glimpse in Friday's game against the Cavaliers. The rookie out of Western Kentucky has been productive on the few occasions the Sixers have called his number this season, with the second-round pick shooting 63.8 from the field and averaging 3.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 7.3 minutes over 23 appearances.

Impact Bassey played seven minutes during the blowout loss to the Celtics and scored his most points (five) since Dec. 23, when he totaled eight points and eight rebounds across 12 minutes during a 98-96 loss to the Hawks. Barring injuries or a blowout, the two-way big man isn't expected to be a part of coach Doc Rivers' rotation moving forward.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Brought back from G League The 76ers recalled Bassey from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Monday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Bassey hasn't typically been a part of Philadelphia's rotation during his rookie season, but he should step in as the top backup behind Andre Drummond in Monday's game against the Grizzlies with star center Joel Embiid receiving a planned maintenance day. During his limited NBA opportunities to date, Bassey has produced at a high level with averages of 3.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 7.2 minutes per contest. If Bassey approaches 20 minutes Monday, he could have value as a low-cost option in daily fantasy contests.

Recalled, available Saturday Bassey has been recalled by the 76ers and will be available for Saturday's matchup with the Kings, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

Rejoins NBA club The 76ers recalled Bassey from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Thursday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Bassey will be available off the bench for Thursday's game against the 76ers, but he's unlikely see the court in a competitive contest so long as both of Joel Embiid and Andre Drummond suit up and don't succumb to foul trouble or an in-game injury. A rookie second-round pick, Bassey has impressed in his limited opportunities to date at the NBA level. He's appeared in 21 games, averaging 3.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 7.2 minutes while converting at a 67.5 percent clip from the field.
