Devin Vassell News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs

Ruled out Tuesday Vassell has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans due to left knee injury management, Ty Jager of Fansided's Air Alamo reports.

Impact Vassell has had sporadic rest days over the last several weeks and will be one of several Spurs sitting out in the first half of a back-to-back set Tuesday. Malaki Branham and Romeo Langford are candidates to see increased run against New Orleans.

Leads from deep to lift offense Vassell closed Sunday's 126-118 win over Atlanta with 29 points (12-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 32 minutes.

Impact Vassell led all players in Sunday's game by connecting on a team-high mark from three, posting a team-high-tying scoring total while finishing one point shy of surpassing the 30-point milestone. Vassell has scored 25 or more points six times this season, including in two straight contests.

Vassell, Johnson spoil Murray's return as Spurs top Hawks

Scores 25 in return Vassell contributed 25 points (9-21 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Friday's 126-120 overtime loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Vassell returned from a one-game absence in this one, and while he looked a bit rusty at times, needing 21 shots to score 25 points, he still provided a solid all-around stat line. It's worth noting that this was the first time Vassell reached the 20-point mark since late December, though this was also just his seventh game this calendar year.

Off injury report for Friday Vassell (knee) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact Vassell sat out Wednesday against the Mavericks due to left knee injury management but will unsurprisingly be able to return following a one-game absence. Over his last four appearances, he's averaged 10.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 31.5 minutes per game.

Won't play Wednesday Vassell has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Dallas due to left knee injury management, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Vassell recently returned from a lengthy absence but will rest for the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday. Keita Bates-Diop will likely see increased run against the Mavericks, while it wouldn't be surprising to see Vassell available for Friday's game against Memphis.

Modest production in win Vassell (rest) contributed 10 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 132-114 victory over the Magic.

Impact Vassell came off the bench during his return from a lengthy injury absence and posted 18 points (8-15 FG) during a 110-99 win over the Pacers on March 2. The Spurs' next contest was the front half of a back-to-back set, so the third-year wing took the night off before returning to the starting lineup the next day. He's drawn four consecutive starts, but he's struggled with his efficiency during that stretch, posting just 10.8 points on 33.3 percent shooting. Given Tuesday's matchup was the first half of another back-to-back set, it seems likely Vassell will be sidelined again Wednesday versus Dallas to manage his left knee injury.

Returns to starting lineup Vassell is starting Sunday against the Rockets, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Vassell came off the bench in his return to action Thursday against the Pacers, but he'll take on a starting role Sunday after missing the first half of the Spurs' back-to-back set due to left knee injury management. He's averaging 19.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 32.4 minutes per game as a starter this season but could still face some limitations against Houston.

Good to go Sunday Vassell (knee) isn't on the Spurs' injury report for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Vassell was sidelined for the first half of the Spurs' back-to-back set Saturday to manage his left knee injury, but as expected, he's good to go for the second half Sunday. In his first and only appearance since a lengthy layoff, Vassell posted 18 points (8-15 FG), two rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes off the bench. He figures to garner a similar workload versus Houston, but he should reclaim a starting role before too long.

Won't play Saturday Vassell has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Houston due to left knee injury management, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Vassell returned to the court Thursday against the Pacers and recorded 18 points, two rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes. However, the Spurs will manage his workload following his lengthy absence, and he'll be unavailable for the first half of a back-to-back set. Keldon Johnson (foot) is doubtful, and Doug McDermott (thumb) has been ruled out, so Keita Bates-Diop, Dominick Barlow and Malaki Branham (back) will likely see increased playing time on the wing.

Dazzles in sixth-man role Vassell (knee) produced 18 points (8-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes in Thursday's 110-99 win over the Pacers.

Impact Though he didn't immediately reclaim a spot in the starting five in his return from a two-month absence following arthroscopic knee surgery, Vassell was outstanding while taking on sixth-man duties for the Spurs. He tied for second on the Spurs in scoring on the night, doing so while knocking down more than half of his shots from the field. Vassell was on a minutes restriction Thursday and will likely have his playing time monitored over the next few games before eventually settling back into a near-30-minute role.

Not starting Thursday Vassell (knee) will come off the bench for Thursday's meeting with Indiana.

Impact Vassell has missed nearly two months of action with knee surgery and will come off the bench in his first game back. Fill-in head coach Mitch Johnson said that the Spurs would be "conservative" with his minutes, so fantasy managers should temper expectations for Vassell's Thursday output.

MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Thursday Vassell (knee) will suit up for Thursday's game versus the Pacers, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact Initially termed probable, Vassell will indeed make his return to action for the first time in two months. Given the length of his layoff, Vassell seems likely to be limited while he gets up to speed on the conditioning front. It's unclear if Vassell will immediately slot back into the starting five, but he will likely chip away some of the playing time from Malaki Branham and Blake Wesley as his minutes grow.

MARCH 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On track to return Thursday Vassell (knee) is probable for Thursday's matchup against the Pacers.

Impact Vassell looks to have finished rehabbing from arthroscopic knee surgery and is expected to make his first appearance since Jan. 2. Given the lengthy layoff, the third-year wing will presumably operate on a minutes limit and may come off the bench. Either way, his likely availability is a great sign for fantasy managers ahead of the playoffs.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Vassell (knee) won't play in Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Vassell hasn't taken the court since Jan. 2 and is still on the mend from arthroscopic knee surgery. The team revealed late last week that Vassell has been cleared for 3-on-3 work, but he remains without a firm timeline for a return.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Saturday Vassell (knee) is out Saturday at Utah.

Impact Vassell progressed to 3-on-3 work during Wednesday's practice, so a return appears to be on the horizon. The Spurs seem content to take his status on a game-to-game basis from here on out. His next chance to play arrives Tuesday, also against the Jazz.

FEBRUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Vassell (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup versus Dallas.

Impact Vassell, who hasn't played since Jan. 2 and is rehabbing from arthroscopic knee surgery, was spotted doing 3-on-3 work Wednesday, but as expected, he'll remain sidelined for at least one more contest. Thursday's matchup begins a three-game road trip for the Spurs before they return to San Antonio for their first home matchup of the second-half schedule against the Pacers on March 2, but despite showing progress in practice, it's unclear if Vassell will be cleared for any of those contests.

FEBRUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Progresses to 3-on-3 Vassell (knee) participated in a 3-on-3 scrimmage during Wednesday's practice, but there's still no clear timetable for his return, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact Vassell, who hasn't played since Jan. 2 due to lingering knee soreness, was given a mid-February return timeline following arthroscopic surgery. Heading into the All-Star break, the third-year forward was still limited to rehab work, but he's since made some progress and is ramping up for a return to game action. Given that Vassell hasn't participated in 5-on-5 drills, it seems unlikely he'll be able to suit up for the Spurs' first game following the break (Thursday in Dallas), but it appears he could be back in the lineup before too long. Following a three-game road trip, San Antonio plays its first home game of the second-half schedule against the Pacers on March 2.
