Good to go Wednesday Vassell (groin) will be available Wednesday against Toronto, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact Vassell was listed as probable after missing Monday's win over the Lakers, so he'll likely be back in the lineup next to Dejounte Murray. Over his last nine games (all starts) since Derrick White was shipped to Boston, Vassell is averaging 14.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.0 threes, 0.9 blocks and 0.8 steals.

Probable Wednesday Vassell (groin) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Vassell should be back following a one-game absence. He's coming off six straight appearances of double-digit scoring, where he's averaged 14.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 blocks in 32.2 minutes.

Ruled out Monday Vassell (groin) will not play Monday against the Lakers, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact All three of Vassell, Lonnie Walker (illness) and Keita Bates-Diop (back) will be held out of action, and coach Gregg Popovich said he's yet to decide who will start in Vassell's place. Consider the second-year guard questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Likely out Monday Vassell (groin) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Lakers, Ty Jager of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Vassell was initially listed as questionable as of Sunday night, so this is a notable downgrade for the second-year guard, who will likely miss his first game since early January. With Lonnie Walker (illness) also doubtful, the Spurs may turn to 2021 first-round pick Joshua Primo for increased minutes -- and perhaps a starting role -- at shooting guard.

MARCH 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on injury report Vassell (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers due to tightness in his left groin, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.

Impact Both Vassell and Dejounte Murray (calf) could end up sitting out Monday, but the Spurs will wait to see how their starting backcourt progresses before making a final decision. Vassell has started the last nine contests dating back to Feb. 11, and he's averaging 14.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.0 threes during that stretch (30.7 MPG).

Hornets top Spurs, leaving Popovich win short of NBA record

Good to go Saturday Vassell (abdomen) is available for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Vassell was initially questionable but is seemingly feeling fine. He's started the past eight games with averages of 14.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 30.9 minutes.

MARCH 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Saturday Vassell is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets due to left adductor tightness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact While Vassell's shooting hasn't been great lately, he's still averaging a nice 14.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 32.8 minutes across the past five games. Lonnie Walker (back) is also questionable Saturday, and absences for one or both players could lead to more run for Joshua Primo, Tre Jones, Josh Richardson and Romeo Langford.

MARCH 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes most of expanded role Vassell tallied 22 points (8-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block across 27 minutes in Saturday's 133-129 loss to the Heat.

Impact With all of Dejounte Murray (knee), Jakob Poeltl (back) and Keldon Johnson (back) sitting out the second leg of the back-to-back set Saturday, the onus was on Vassell to help fill some of the void as a scorer. The second-year player did just that, tying Keita Bates-Diop and Lonnie Walker for the team scoring lead to help keep the Spurs competitive against one of the Eastern Conference's top teams. Vassell's 30.9 percent usage rate from Saturday will almost certainly trend down in the likely event that all of Murray, Poeltl and Johnson are back for Monday's game in Memphis, but the Florida State product has firmly established himself as a player worth holding in 12-team leagues. Even in games where he takes a back seat as a scorer, Vassell typically makes up for it by being a consistent contributor in the steals and three-pointers categories.

Impact Despite poor shooting from beyond the arc, Vassell scored in double figures for the fifth time over his last six games. During that stretch, the second-year wing has averaged 14.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.0 minutes per game. Vassell has started San Antonio's last five contests, but he continues to split time with Lonnie Walker, who scored 23 points (9-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-6 FT) across 35 minutes during Friday's win.

Impresses in starting role Friday Vassell supplied 20 points (9-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 136-121 win over the Hawks.

Impact Vassell moved into the starting lineup Friday, replacing Derrick White, who was traded to Boston just 24 hours earlier. Fantasy managers have been waiting patiently for Vassell to be given a consistent role, and it appears their waiting may have finally paid off. With so much hype, chances are Vassell has been scooped up in the majority of competitive leagues. In leagues where he remains available, now is the time to make the move.

Takes on starting role Vassell is starting Friday's game against Atlanta, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact Vassell saw sporadic time in the starting lineup to begin the season, but he'll serve as a starter after Derrick White was traded to the Celtics on Thursday. Assuming the 21-year-old performs well as a member of the starting five, it wouldn't be surprising to see him maintain the role.

Hoists 16 shots Vassell contributed 18 points (8-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 105-92 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Vassell matched his season-high in field-goals attempted (16), but did so efficiently and co-led San Antonio in points on the night. He entered Wednesday in a 3-for-13 slump across 50 minutes over two games prior. Vassell has shown major growth in year two, and it will be interesting to see if his role changes should the Spurs make any moves at the deadline.

Back in starting lineup Vassell will start Thursday's game against the Heat.

Impact Vassell had 14 points (4-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in 30 minutes off the bench Tuesday against Golden State, and he'll return to the starting five Thursday with Doug McDermott (ankle) unavailable. Vassell has averaged 12.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists as starter this year.
