Charles Bassey News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs

Scores in double figures off bench Bassey produced 10 points (3-3 FG, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal over 21 minutes during Thursday's 118-109 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Bassey was perfect from the field and the free-throw line, helping him score at least 10 points for the second time in three games. The second-year big man was also active defensively, although he picked up four fouls in addition to his four blocks.

Quality performance Bassey supplied 11 points (5-5 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 21 minutes during Friday's 117-99 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Bassey was perfect from the field en route to a career-best 11 points. A rotational piece that will spend time in the G League, Bassey is best viewed as a reliable rebounder and center depth for San Antonio.

Called up to NBA Bassey will join the San Antonio Spurs for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Bruno Passos of PoundingTheRock.com reports.

Impact Bassey's promotion is not surprising considering the Spurs injury report lists Jakob Poeltl (knee), Jeremy Sochan (quadriceps) and Doug McDermott (ankle) as out for the contest. Bassey will likely share center minutes with Zach Collins, however, given Bassey is capable of putting up fantasy numbers in limited minutes, he remains an intriguing streaming option.

Downward trend continues Bassey contributed three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 12 minutes during Wednesday's 129-110 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Bassey managed just 12 minutes in the loss, the fewest minutes he has played in over two weeks. After a brief period of 12-team relevance, his production has plateaued recently, moving him firmly into the drop discussion. With Zach Collins likely to return from a leg injury this week, there is very little reason to still be holding Bassey outside of deeper formats.

Gets 24 minutes in blowout loss Bassey provided six points (3-5 FG), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 24 minutes in Monday's 132-95 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Bassey saw double-digit minutes for the fourth game in a row while he continued to serve as the top backup to starting center Jakob Poeltl in the absence of Zach Collins (lower leg). His playing time ticked up Monday due to blowout nature of the contest, but Bassey should stick in the 15-to-20-minute range in more competitive contests and when Poeltl isn't dealing with foul trouble. With averages of 6.0 points (on 62.5 percent shooting from the field), 8.8 boards, 2.5 assists, 2.0 blocks and 0.8 steals in the past four games, Bassey hasn't needed big minutes to produce fantasy-friendly lines. He should remain a worthy streaming option for at least this week, as the Spurs play an NBA-high five games.

Likely to see added minutes Head coach Gregg Popovich indicated Wednesday that Bassey will likely see additional minutes moving forward while Zach Collins (lower leg) is sidelined, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San A...

Impact Bassey performed reasonably well in his extended run Monday, racking up three points, eight boards, an assist, a steal and a block over 16 minutes. Bassey could temporarily be worth a look in some formats if he continues contributing across the fantasy board.

NOVEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs eight boards in 16 minutes Bassey ended with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 16 minutes during Monday's 115-109 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Bassey logged a few extra minutes with Zach Collins on the sideline. In his 16 minutes on the floor, Bassey managed to contribute across multiple categories. Although this is almost certainly an outlier, he is a name to watch should the Spurs eventually decide to see what he can do on a regular basis.

Recalled to NBA club San Antonio recalled Bassey on Monday, Ty Jager of PoundingTheRock.com reports.

Impact Bassey was dominant during the G League's Opening Night, posting 33 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks. The second-year big man will be available Monday and could crack the rotation with Zach Collins (lower leg) sidelined, but even if he does see the court, he likely won't garner a large enough role to be fantasy relevant.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to G League The Spurs assigned Bassey to the Austin Spurs of the G League on Thursday.

Impact Bassey tallied nine points, four rebounds and two blocks in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 143-100 loss to the Raptors. These minutes were likely given to the second-year center because the game was so out of hand. Bassey had not played in any game until Wednesday and should be able to find more playing time with the Austin Spurs.

Links up with San Antonio Bassey agreed Monday with the Spurs on a two-way contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact After a solid rookie season in which he averaged 3.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game in just 7.3 minutes per contest over 23 appearances, Bassey was unable to win a secure a spot on the 76ers' opening night roster coming out of training camp. The 21-year-old didn't take long to land elsewhere, but he'll still function as little more than a depth piece at center behind Jakob Poeltl, Zach Collins and Gorgui Dieng. Bassey could end up seeing most of his action with the G League's Austin Spurs if all the veteran centers on the depth chart for the NBA team maintain health.

Available for Game 1 Bassey (shoulder) will be available for Monday's Game 1 against Miami.

Impact The rookie was out of commission for nearly a month due to a shoulder injury, but he'll be back to active status as the Sixers tip off their second-round series. Bassey hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Feb. 15, so even with Joel Embiid (face) sidelined, he's unlikely to make much of an impact.

MAY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Game 6 Bassey (shoulder) will not play in Thursday's Game 6 at Toronto.

Impact The big man continues to nurse a sprained right shoulder and remains without a timetable. He's not a part of the regular rotation, so his absence won't have any real bearing on the Sixers' game plan.

APRIL 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out for Game 4 Bassey (shoulder) is out for Saturday's Game 4 against the Raptors.

Impact Bassey hasn't played since spraining his right shoulder during an April 8 game with the G League's Delaware Blue Coats. The rookie big man joined the 76ers for their playoff run, but even when healthy, he isn't expected to be part of head coach Doc Rivers' rotation.

APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out for Game 3 Bassey (shoulder) is out for Wednesday's Game 3 against the Raptors.

Impact Bassey hasn't played since spraining his right shoulder during an April 8 game with the G League's Delaware Blue Coats. The rookie big man has rejoined the 76ers for their playoff run, but even when healthy, he isn't expected to be part of head coach Doc Rivers' rotation.

APRIL 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not available for Game 2 Bassey (shoulder) will remain out Monday for Game 2 of the 76ers' first-round playoff series with the Raptors.

Impact Bassey has been out of commission since spraining his right shoulder during an April 8 game with the G League's Delaware Blue Coats. The rookie big man has rejoined the 76ers for their playoff run, but he likely won't be part of head coach Doc Rivers' rotation even once he overcomes the shoulder injury.

APRIL 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled by 76ers Bassey (shoulder) was recalled by Philadelphia on Saturday, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Bassey is expected to miss at least a week and a half due to a right shoulder strain, so he'll be unavailable for the final two games of the regular season. It's not yet clear if he'll be available in a depth role during the playoffs.

APRIL 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to G League Bassey was assigned to the G League on Tuesday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact After a brief call-up, Bassey returns to the G League and will be ready to play in the Blue Coats' game against the Go-Go on Wednesday. The rookie has only played in one NBA matchup with the 76ers since Feb. 2.

MARCH 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled by 76ers Bassey was recalled by the 76ers on Sunday, Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Bassey hasn't appeared in a game for the 76ers since mid-February, but he'll now rejoin the parent club after a stint in the G League. He's unlikely to be a part of the team's rotation.

MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Called up from G League The 76ers recalled Bassey from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Thursday, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Paul Millsap has been operating as the primary backup to center Joel Embiid over the past five games, but he's found little success in that role, averaging just 4.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.4 three-pointers and 0.2 blocks in 11.2 minutes while shooting 47.1 percent from the field. The Sixers are rumored to be targeting the recently waived DeAndre Jordan to shore up their frontcourt depth, but until Jordan is officially added to the roster, head coach Doc Rivers may be inclined to give Bassey a glimpse in Friday's game against the Cavaliers. The rookie out of Western Kentucky has been productive on the few occasions the Sixers have called his number this season, with the second-round pick shooting 63.8 from the field and averaging 3.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 7.3 minutes over 23 appearances.

MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Plays seven minutes during blowout Bassey closed Tuesday's 135-87 loss to the Celtics with five points (2-4 FG, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one steal over seven minutes.

Impact Bassey played seven minutes during the blowout loss to the Celtics and scored his most points (five) since Dec. 23, when he totaled eight points and eight rebounds across 12 minutes during a 98-96 loss to the Hawks. Barring injuries or a blowout, the two-way big man isn't expected to be a part of coach Doc Rivers' rotation moving forward.

FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Brought back from G League The 76ers recalled Bassey from the G League's Delaware Blue Coats on Monday, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Bassey hasn't typically been a part of Philadelphia's rotation during his rookie season, but he should step in as the top backup behind Andre Drummond in Monday's game against the Grizzlies with star center Joel Embiid receiving a planned maintenance day. During his limited NBA opportunities to date, Bassey has produced at a high level with averages of 3.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 7.2 minutes per contest. If Bassey approaches 20 minutes Monday, he could have value as a low-cost option in daily fantasy contests.
