Spurs' Devin Vassell: Likely to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Vassell (rest) is likely to play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Heat, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

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.

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).

Rotowire
Vassell (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

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.

Vassell recorded a team-high 26 points Tuesday, marking his 22nd outing with at least 20 points over 56 regular-season appearances. Additionally, the 24-year-old forward was efficient from beyond the arc, sinking at least three triples for the 26th time this season.

Rotowire
Vassell ended Saturday's 119-115 win over the Pelicans with 22 points (6-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals across 36 minutes.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Iffy to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Vassell is questionable for Wednesday's game against Dallas due to a right wrist contusion, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
The right wrist contusion is a new injury for Vassell, who hasn't missed an outing since Dec. 6.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Puts up 20 points in win
Rotowire
Vassell ended Saturday's 130-128 win over Memphis with 20 points (9-19 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes.
De'Aaron Fox grabbed most of the headlines after sinking the game-winning shot in the final seconds, but Vassell delivered an impressive outing in his own right. He reached the 20-point mark for the second time in his last three outings, but that doesn't negate the fact he's been struggling from the field since the All-Star break. In six games since that recess, Vassell is averaging 12.2 points and 3.7 boards per game while shooting a meager 36.5 percent from the floor.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Poor shooting night Monday
Rotowire
Vassell registered seven points (2-9 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Monday's 131-121 victory over the Wizards.
Vassell matched his third-lowest scoring output of the season amid Monday's poor shooting night. However, the 24-year-old swingman has reached double-digit scoring figures in all but five of his 36 games in 2024-25, so fantasy managers can expect him to rebound in the scoring department in short order. With that said, Vassell is in line for a decrease in ball-handling responsibilities for the remainder of the season due to the recent addition of De'Aaron Fox in San Antonio's backcourt.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Unflattering performance
Rotowire
Vassell posted 11 points (5-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 128-109 loss to Memphis.
Vassell continues to struggle with efficiency, shooting under 40 percent from the field for the fourth time in the past five games. During that time he has contributed just two steals, rounding out what has been a disappointing stretch. Through 32 games, he is averaging 16.1 points, 1.1 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 30.1 minutes per game. The impending arrival of De'Aaron Fox is likely going to have an impact on Vassell, especially when it comes to usage and shot attempts.
