Devin Vassell Uncertain For Wednesday

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.

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.

Devin Vassell Expected To Return On Wednesday
Devin Vassell (knee) will sit out a fifth consecutive game on Tuesday versus Utah but is expected to be back on the court Wednesday night against the Lakers. 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.

Devin Vassell Listed As Questionable On Tuesday
Devin Vassell (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder due to left knee soreness. Vassell didn't play the second half of San Antonio's back-to-back Saturday against Dallas for rest purposes. However, the 24-year-old's late addition to the injury could cause some concern. If Vassell cannot suit up, Stephon Castle, Malaki Branham, and Tre Jones could see an uptick in minutes on the court.
