Victor Wembanyama - Questionable for MondayWembanyama is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns due to a left ankle sprain, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

ImpactWembanyama played just 21 minutes in Saturday's blowout loss to Phoenix and is dealing with an ankle issue ahead of Monday's rematch. If he's unavailable Monday, Zach Collins and Dominick Barlow are candidates to see increased playing time.

Josh Okogie - Gets garbage-time run in returnOkogie (abdomen) tallied zero points (0-2 FG), one rebound and one assist across 10 minutes Saturday in the Suns' 131-106 win over the Spurs.

ImpactMaking his return to action for the first time since March 2 after he contended with a lower abdominal strain, Okogie found himself outside of head coach Frank Vogel's rotation. Okogie didn't check into the game until 9:34 remained in the fourth quarter, when Phoenix held a 29-point lead and held out most of its other key rotation players for the rest of the contest.

Victor Wembanyama - Doesn't stand out in loss SaturdayWembanyama notched 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block in 21 minutes during Saturday's 131-106 loss to Phoenix.

ImpactWembanyama failed to record multiple blocks for the first time since the Feb. 10 loss to the Nets, and while his final stat line was subpar compared to what he'd been doing in recent weeks, the fact that he still stuffed the stat line in just 21 minutes is highly impressive. Wembanyama should be able to bounce back Monday in a back-to-back matchup against Phoenix.

Devin Vassell - Struggles badly from field SaturdayVassell provided two points (1-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes during Saturday's 131-106 loss to the Suns.

ImpactVassell had one of the worst performances of his career Saturday, missing all but one of his eight attempts from the field en route to delivering a season-low two points. Vassell remains one of San Antonio's most reliable offensive threats, however, and one game is not going to change his status in the team's scheme. Vassell will aim to bounce back when the Spurs take on the Suns on Monday in a back-to-back set.

Blake Wesley - Produces in limited minutesWesley ended with 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and two steals over 19 minutes during Saturday's 131-106 loss to Phoenix.

ImpactWesley took advantage of the minutes he saw off the bench in a blowout loss, missing just one shot from the field and ending as one of the few bright spots on a Spurs team that looked overmatched on both ends of the court. Wesley should continue to see minutes off the bench in the final weeks of the regular season, and it wouldn't be surprising if he makes a start here or there. too.
