SAN ANTONIO SPURS NEWS

Malaki Branham - Won't play Monday Branham (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Kings, Ty Jager of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Branham will miss his second consecutive game due to a right ankle sprain. The 21-year-old has seen significant run off the bench this season, during which he has averaged 10.0 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 16.3 minutes per game. With Branham out, Stephon Castle and Keldon Johnson are candidates for a slight uptick in playing time.

Devin Vassell - Will remain in bench role Interim coach Mitch Johnson said Vassell will come off the bench during Monday's game against the Kings, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact After missing time while working his way back from foot surgery, Vassell made his season debut versus Utah on Saturday, posting 21 points (8-13 FG), two assists and one rebound in 22 minutes off the bench. Johnson said the team will be "conservative" during Vassell's ramp-up period, so it may be a while before he's back to playing 30-plus minutes as a starter.

Tre Jones - Remains out Jones (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Kings, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact Jones was set to miss at least two weeks beginning Oct. 26 due to an ankle injury, and he will remain sidelined Monday without a clear timetable for return. Stephon Castle figures to be the main beneficiary in Jones' absence, while Blake Wesley could see an uptick in minutes as well.

Stephon Castle - Best scoring output of young career Castle supplied 23 points (8-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 111-110 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Saturday marked a second consecutive strong performance by the rookie, who appears destined to return to a bench role as early as Monday against the Kings following a strong season debut by Devin Vassell. Castle has started three straight games for the Spurs in Jeremy Sochan's (thumb) absence and is averaging 14.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.7 steals during this brief stretch.

Devin Vassell - Looks sharp in season debut Vassell contributed 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists in 22 minutes during Saturday's 111-110 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Vassell certainly didn't look like someone making his 2024-25 season debut given his success on the offensive end. He led the bench in scoring by knocking down 61.5 percent of his tries from the field and drilled three triples in a tightly-contested loss. Vassell was on a minutes restriction Saturday and could shoulder a similar workload over the next few games until the team feels comfortable enough to cut him loose.

Victor Wembanyama - Swats seven shots Wembanyama amassed 24 points (8-15 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds and seven blocks across 33 minutes during Saturday's 111-110 loss to Utah.

Impact Wembanyama continues to dominate as a rim protector and turned in yet another eye-popping performance for fantasy managers in the blocks category. He also had his shot working from beyond the arc Saturday, drilling a season-high six triples to account for 18 of his 24 points. Wembanyama's effort on the boards was yet another highlight, marking his third double-double of the 2024-25 campaign. The 2023 first-round pick is now averaging 18.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 4.8 blocks through five November appearances.
