Spurs' Devin Vassell: Will play vs. Miami
Rotowire
Vassell (rest) will play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Heat, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
After sitting out Monday's preseason contest against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions, Vassell is ready to make his first appearance of the preseason. The 2020 first-rounder will likely see most of his action in the first half before giving way to the likes of Carter Bryant, Julian Champagnie and Lindy Waters in the second half.
Vassell (rest) is likely to play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Heat, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Vassell was a healthy scratch in Monday's exhibition opener, but he's not dealing with an injury and is slated for action Wednesday. The 2020 first-rounder is set to start at small forward in San Antonio in 2025-26, and Vassell should also see a boost in ball-handling duties while De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) is sidelined to begin the campaign.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Out Monday
Rotowire
Vassell (ankle/rest) won't play in Monday's exhibition against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions, Dan Weiss of FanDuel Sports Network Southwest reports.
Vassell was sidelined to end the 2024-25 campaign due to an ankle injury. He's likely past that issue, but he's still ramping up during training camp and won't suit up during Monday's preseason opener. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Miami, and he's expected to be available, per Weiss. The Spurs will also be without De'Aaron Fox (hamstring), Stephon Castle (undisclosed) and Dylan Harper (thumb).
Vassell (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Vassell will end the season sidelined after missing a second straight game due to this ankle issue. When healthy, though, he was a reliable offensive weapon for the rebuilding Spurs. Vassell ends the 2024-25 season with averages of 16.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, marking the third straight season in which he averaged at least 16 points per game.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Regresses in loss
Rotowire
Vassell notched seven points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 122-117 loss to the Clippers.
Vassell has enjoyed a solid run since the All-Star break but logged his first single-digit scoring total since Late February in the loss. The fifth-year pro was limited to only 25 minutes, which was one factor in the sudden downturn. Vassell has spent his entire pro career with the Spurs, and his trajectory remains promising as he'll begin next season with star Victor Wembanyama back in the fold to help out.
