Devin Vassell Ties Career-High Against Kings
Devin Vassell tied his career-high points in a game on Thursday night in the team's 112-130 loss to the Sacramento Kings. The 22-year-old registered 29 points, three rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block while shooting 11-for-19 from the floor and 4-for-9 from beyond the arc. Whenever Keldon Johnson is held out, Vassell sees an increase in minutes and usage. This game was no different. He's a must-add in all formats and his value is even higher when it comes to dynasty leagues.

Devin Vassell Uncertain For Wednesday
Devin Vassell (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It appears Vassell picked up a right wrist contusion during Monday's contest against the Mavs. The Spurs could be shorthanded for this game with Jeremy Sochan (calf) listed as questionable as well. Keldon Johnson is coming off a 28-point outing and is looking like an excellent streaming option for Wednesday. Julian Champagnie and Stephon Castle could be looking at extended run as well.

Devin Vassell Sits Out Friday's Game
Devin Vassell (foot) will exit the lineup on Friday against Sacramento. This is the second leg of a back-to-back for the Spurs, and Vassell will be rested for the contest as he continues to manage a right foot injury. Vassell has been used as a microwave scorer off the bench this season. He's averaged 17.8 points in 23.5 minutes across eight outings. His absence on Friday will give his teammates a lot of additional scoring opportunities. With Victor Wembanyama (back) also on the shelf, Keldon Johnson will be expected to lead the offense alongside Chris Paul and Jeremy Sochan. Johnson scored a team-high 28 points in Thursday's 139-124 loss to Chicago.

Devin Vassell Expected To Return On Wednesday

Vassell missed the start of the campaign with a foot injury and has now been out with a knee contusion. He's been limited to four appearances, averaging 16.3 points and 3.5 assists in 22.5 minutes. Vassell had a bench role in the few games he played earlier in the season, but he's previously been a starter for San Antonio and will likely threaten Stephon Castle's spot in the first unit once he's fully up to speed.
