Keldon Johnson - Posts 18 points in reserve roleJohnson contributed 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 127-122 loss to the Kings.
ImpactJohnson hasn't seen the starting lineup since mid December. and although that's capped the 24-year-old's fantasy potential, he's still effective for the Spurs in a sixth-man role. Interestingly, Johnson tends to take the floor during Victor Wembanyama's rest periods. As one might expect, the result has been a seasonal uptick in rebounds for Johnson despite lower usage.

Victor Wembanyama - Records double-double in lossWembanyama provided 19 points (8-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, five blocks and five steals in 31 minutes during Thursday's 127-122 loss to the Kings.
ImpactWembanyama added five blocked shots to his total as he continues to blitz the rest of the league in the category. The sizzling rookie is averaging 3.2 blocks per game, far ahead of Brook Lopez, Walker Kessler and Chet Holmgren. He's also 12th in the league with an average of 10.1 rebounds per game . Although the rookie had some shooting struggles in the loss, his stellar secondary contributions boosted his total, and they'll also provide padding for subpar scoring nights in the future.

Devin Vassell - Leads team with 32 points in lossVassell accumulated 32 points (13-18 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), one rebound and seven assists over 37 minutes during Thursday's 127-122 loss to the Kings.
ImpactThe cellar-dwelling Spurs played valiantly but ultimately came up short against the Kings. Vassell joined Victor Wembanyama as a prime catalyst in the losing effort, and despite the Spurs' poor fortune, the Florida State product is enjoying his best year as a pro. Considering October's massive $135M five-year deal, we should expect the youngster to form the core of San Antonio's 2024-25 campaign. Through 51 games, Vassell is averaging 19.1 points, 3.7 assists and 3.6 rebounds.
