Impact San Antonio is still awaiting the results of additional tests on Vassell before a firmer prognosis is available, but based on Johnson's comments, the 25-year-old wing appears likely to remain out through at least the team's Friday/Saturday back-to-back set versus the Pacers and Trail Blazers, respectively. While Vassell was sidelined Wednesday, Julian Champagnie stepped into the starting five in his stead and erupted for 36 points (11-17 FG, 11-17 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and one block in 36 minutes. Reserve forward Keldon Johnson (19 points, eight rebounds and two steals in 31 minutes) also benefited from some extra run sans Vassell.
