Posts 17 points in return to action Vassell chipped in 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 123-92 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Vassell was back in the starting lineup after missing the front end of the back-to-back. He's had a hard time staying off the injury report this season and has missed five games already. It appears that his ankle strain may continue to be a lingering problem that will need future management. When healthy, Vassell is a solid contributor who regularly sees around 30 minutes per game.

Off injury report Vassell (ankle) will be available for Sunday's game against the Lakers, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
Impact Initially listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's 119-97 loss to the Clippers due to a sore left ankle, Vassell was downgraded to out shortly before the contest. His absence looks to have been for rest purposes more than anything, as the Spurs had played three times in the previous five days and were kicking off the front end of a back-to-back set. He'll be back in action for the second half of the back-to-back set and should be in store for a 30-plus-minute role if the Spurs are able to keep the game reasonably competitive.

Impact In what has been a series of conflicting reports regarding Vassell's availability, the forward has been ultimately ruled out and won't be facing the Clippers on Saturday. His next chance to play will come against the Lakers on Sunday, but given the quick turnaround, that seems unlikely.

Upgraded to available Vassell (ankle) will play Saturday against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Impact Vassell was originally listed as out in the league's official injury report, but he's been cleared to play only a few hours before tip-off. His presence should provide the Spurs a huge boost on offense, as the former Florida State standout has scored 20-plus points in four of his last five appearances and in nine games overall.

Won't play Saturday Vassell (ankle) won't suit up for Saturday's clash with the Clippers.
Impact Vassell is dealing with some left ankle soreness and will take the night off to rest. However, he could be back as soon as Sunday in the second game of a back-to-back set in Los Angeles, this time versus the Lakers. Josh Richardson may line up for a start alongside Tre Jones in the Spurs' backcourt.

Questionable Saturday Vassell is questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers due to left ankle soreness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Impact Vassell pops up on the injury report for Saturday's contest due to ankle soreness and is joined as questionable by Jakob Poeltl (knee) for the game. If Vassell were to miss, Keldon Johnson would hold an increased role within the offense while Josh Richardson and Malaki Branham (ankle) would be candidates to receive more minutes.

Struggles with shot in loss Vassell closed with six points (3-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Monday's 132-95 loss to Golden State.
Impact Vassell struggled from the field en route to his first single-digit scoring outing of the campaign. Coming into the contest, the third-year wing had scored at least 20 points in seven of nine appearances, so the poor performance can likely be attributed to an off night. Vassell will look to get back on track against Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
