Shoots poorly once again Vassell finished with 13 points (5-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 122-119 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Vassell had another rough outing from the field Wednesday, and while his scoring prowess is not under question, he's struggling to show any sign of efficiency in recent games. While he should remain a prominent figure in the Spurs' offensive scheme, there's no doubt he needs to start shooting better to avoid losing touches -- or even his starting role -- to someone else. Since returning to the starting lineup four games ago, Vassell is averaging 15.0 points per game but shooting just 37.1 percent from the field.

Poor shooting display Monday Vassell supplied 14 points (5-16 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 93-82 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Vassell might have ended as one of the Spurs' main scorers in this low-scoring loss, but once again, the efficiency issues are plaguing him. Vassell has been part of the starting lineup in each of San Antonio's last three games, and while he's scoring 15.7 points per game in that span, he's also shooting a meager 38.3 percent from the field.

Struggles from field Friday Vassell closed Friday's 121-112 loss to the Bulls with 11 points (4-15 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 34 minutes.

Impact Vassell is talented enough to be one of San Antonio's most reliable scoring alternatives on a game-to-game basis, but he's also prone to having subpar shooting performances like Friday's one. Vassell has scored in double digits in his last 10 appearances regardless of whether he plays as a starter or bench option, and he's also shooting 46.5 percent from the field in that span, so it seems this outing against Chicago was nothing more than a poor shooting display. He'll aim to bounce back against the Rockets on Monday.

Leader in scoring as starter Vassell accumulated 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 102-94 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Vassell entered the starting lineup after coming off the bench the last five games, leading all Spurs in scoring and threes made to lead offensively. Vassell has tallied 20 or more points in six games this season, including in three of his last five outings.

Returns to starting unit Vassell is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Vassell will replace Jeremey Sochan as the Spurs' starting point guard Wednesday after coming off the bench in his last five appearances. Vassell is averaging 19.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 31.1 minutes across his previous eight starting appearances this season.

Available Wednesday Vassell (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Vassell was probable for Wednesday's matchup and was officially given the green light to suit up after participating in the team's morning shootaround. The 23-year-old has averaged 20.0 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 26.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances, which have all come off the bench.

Likely to play against Minnesota Vassell is listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves due to left knee management, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Vassell continues to deal with a nagging knee injury but has suited up in each of the Spurs' last five contests. However, he has come off the bench and is averaging 20.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.8 minutes over that span.

Leads team with 14 points Vassell notched 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one assist and two steals across 27 minutes during Friday's 121-106 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Vassell didn't have a particularly eye-opening performance Friday, but his 14 points were enough to pace the Spurs in a game the team played without standout rookie Victor Wembanyama (hip). However, Vassell didn't do much else to make an impact in the box score aside from notching two steals. That's been a theme for the fourth-year guard throughout the campaign -- he's averaging a healthy 18.3 points and 2.7 triples per contest, but his peripheral stats (3.2 boards, 2.7 dimes and 1.0 thefts) are below his averages last season.

Still limited to bench role Coach Gregg Popovich said Vassell will come off the bench during Friday's game against the Pelicans due to a minutes restriction, though he should be cleared for a full workload so...

Impact Since returning from a three-game absence due to left adductor tightness, Vassell has operated off the bench, playing 26.8 minutes per game over the last four contests. Popovich said this is due to a minutes restriction but added that Vassell's limitations should be removed soon. Vassell has been thriving off the bench recently, averaging 21.5 points on 50.8 percent shooting during the recent four-game stretch, so it'll be interesting to see how the rotation shakes out once he's cleared for a full workload.

Dillon Brooks 'strikes fear' by clapping, Devin Vassell's gravity: Southwest Division notes 'Everyone in the league knows I slap people’s hands on jump shots after the ball’s released,' Brooks tells The Athletic's Kelly Iko.

Continues to produce off bench Vassell chipped in 19 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 132-120 loss to Denver.

Impact Vassell has played off the bench in his last three outings while Malaki Branham features in the first unit, but that hasn't affected Vassell's fantasy potential. He has scored at least 18 points in his last three contests and is finding more freedom to operate as the go-to player in the second unit rather than being a complementary piece in the starting lineup. His role for the upcoming weeks might not change if he remains as productive as he's been of late.

Leads team in scoring Friday Vassell closed with 24 points (10-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes off the bench during Friday's 118-112 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Coming off the bench for a second straight game after missing the prior three with a groin injury, Vassell led the Spurs in scoring while attempting double-digit threes for the second time in 11 contests this season. The fourth-year wing only played 38 games in 2022-23 due to knee surgery and has already missed five games this season with groin issues, a worrying trend, but when he's been on the court Vassell's proven to be a good fit alongside Victor Wembanyama. While his usage is down, Vassell's efficiency is up, and he's on pace to set career highs in field-goal shooting (49.0 percent) and three-point shooting (40.6 percent.)

Scores 18 points off bench Vassell notched 18 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 109-102 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Vassell came off the bench during his return from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury. Despite some inefficient shooting, Vassell was able to rack up 18 points, finishing third on the team behind Jeremy Sochan (19) and Victor Wembanyama (22). Vassell should reclaim his starting spot during Friday's road matchup versus Golden State.

Coming off bench Vassell won't start Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Impact While Vassell will be active for Wednesday's tilt, he'll come off the bench and likely have his workload monitored following a three-game absence due to a groin injury. Malaki Branham will start at the shooting guard spot.

Says he'll play Wednesday Vassell (groin) said he'll play Wednesday against the Clippers, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact Vassell will return after missing three straight games due to left groin soreness. The last time he returned from a multi-game absence, the Spurs elected to bring him off the bench, and he totaled just four points, two rebounds and two assists in 12 minutes in a loss to the Knicks on Nov. 8. A similar situation could happen again Wednesday, so fantasy managers should check in closer to the 8:00 p.m. ET tipoff to see if the team released an update on Vassell's expected workload.

NOVEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday Vassell (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Vassell has missed three straight games due to left groin soreness but has a chance to return Wednesday. He was listed as doubtful for the team's previous contest, so it appears he's made at least some progress. However, even if Vassell is cleared, he may be subject to a minute restriction, so fantasy managers should proceed with caution.

Ruled out Monday Vassell (groin) will not play in Monday's game against the Clippers, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact This will be the third missed game in a row for Vassell, and his fifth missed game of the campaign. Julian Champagnie has been starting in his absence, and he has averaged 7.5 points, 2.5 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers over his last two outings.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Monday Vassell (groin) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Clippers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Vassell will likely miss a third straight game due to left adductor tightness. Julian Champagnie has started the last two games in Vassell's absence, but Tre Jones and Malaki Branham are also candidates for increased roles if Vassell is sidelined again.

NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out against Memphis Vassell (groin) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies.

Impact Vassell will miss his second straight game Saturday due to left adductor tightness. Julian Champagnie replaced him in the starting lineup Friday. Vassell's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with the Clippers.
