San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (foot) has been ruled out for the rest of the season. Vassell was a late scratch on Sunday, and additional testing revealed a stress reaction in the third metatarsal. The Spurs didn't mention anything about surgery, but they've decided to shut down Vassell in what has become a lost season for the team. Vassell lived up to the fantasy hype this season, but sadly he'll have his 2023 campaign cut short. Malaki Branham figures to remain in the starting five which should give him a boost in fantasy value going forward.

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (foot) won't play against Golden State on Sunday. He was a late addition to the injury report with a sore left foot and a questionable tag, and Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich has now officially ruled him out. With Jeremy Sochan (ankle) also absent on Sunday, San Antonio is set to have two new starters. The team will be missing its third-best scorer, Keldon Johnson, as well, meaning a number of players have an opportunity to fill bigger roles. However, it's impossible to project who steps up behind Victor Wembanyama and Tre Jones. Julian Champagnie, Cedi Osman, Malaki Branham, and ... [More]

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (hip) will play versus the Golden State Warriors on Monday. As expected, Vassell will play after being listed as probable ahead of this game. The expectation is that he'll play his normal role after missing Saturday's contest due to a left hip contusion. Malaki Branham will head to the second unit and have a decreased role with Vassell returning. Branham is still worth holding in deep leagues considering he dropped 20 points during their last game.

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (hip) is listed as probable ahead of Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Vassell appears to be back on track to play after missing Saturday's game due to a left hip contusion. Malaki Branham figures to move back to the second unit with Vassell likely returning on Monday. Despite that, Branham is still worth holding in most deep leagues. Fantasy managers should check back on Monday for a final update on Vassell.

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (knee) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota. The 23-year-old is managing a left knee issue but should be good to go for the game. Vassell has been coming off the bench lately, but he's still remained a productive player, even leading the team in scoring on a couple of occasions across the last five matches. Minnesota gives up the 12th most points in the league to bench players, which puts Vassell in a good spot to perform on Wednesday. However, the Timberwolves also currently boast the league's best defensive efficiency, and that might complicate things for him and the rest of the Spurs.

San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (thumb) and forward Devin Vassell (knee) are both listed as probable for Wednesday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Neither player missed last Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans with their respective injuries, so their designations on San Antonio's injury report come off as mere formalities after five days off. Collins is struggling with turnovers (2.8 per game) alongside the ultra-talented Victor Wembanyama in the Spurs frontcourt, but he's still averaging a solid 13.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.1 treys in 29.2 minutes over 19 games ahead of a tough draw against Minnesota's vaunted frontcourt. Vassell is still working to get back into head coach Gregg Popovich's starting five after missing five games earlier in the year with an adductor strain, averaging an efficient 20.0 points, 3.2 threes, and 1.0 swipes in 26.8 minutes over his last five appearances from the bench.

San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Vassell said earlier in the day that he would play and he was right as he has been cleared to play. It's worth noting that Vassell is going to come off the bench during his first game back. Malaki Branham will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game. The Spurs are likely going to monitor Vassell's minutes, so he won't be a great streaming option on Wednesday. It might take a few games before he's back up to full speed.

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) told reporters that he'll be back from a three-game absence for Wednesday's game versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Vassell downplayed the effects of his left adductor strain, calling it a nagging issue that the Spurs are just being cautious about after it was re-aggravated. San Antonio has not yet updated the status of the 23-year-old swingman on the official injury report, but we'll take his word for it, unless he suffers a setback sometime between morning shootaround and pregame warmups. Vassell could face a minutes restriction in his return, but he's averaging a sharp 17.3 points, 3.6 assists, and 2.4 threes in 28.9 minutes across nine games. Vassell's return would unplug Julian Champagnie from head coach Gregg Popovich's starting lineup, but he wasn't getting the job done as a fantasy streamer while averaging 6.7 points and 1.7 threes in 22.7 minutes over his three starts.

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Vassell has missed three consecutive contests and five overall with a left adductor strain, which he initially sustained on Nov. 2 against the Phoenix Suns. It's fair to wonder if the 23-year-old swingman may have returned too soon, as he was originally set to miss approximately a week or two of play before unexpectedly returning only six days later on Nov. 8. Vassell is putting forth a continuation of his 2022-23 breakout, averaging 17.3 points, 3.6 assists, and 2.4 threes in 28.9 minutes across nine games. St. John's product Julian Champagnie has acted as the primary beneficiary in Vassell's stead, but he's only averaging 6.7 points and 1.7 threes in 22.7 minutes covering three starts.

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) remains out for Monday's game versus the Los Angeles Clippers due to a left adductor strain. It's set to be the third straight game Vassell has missed and fifth overall with the injury that he originally picked up on Nov. 2 against the Phoenix Suns. It's fair to wonder if the 23-year-old swingman may have re-aggravated the problem along the way, as he was initially slated to miss around a week or two before surprisingly returning just six days later on Nov. 8. Vassell is administering a steady follow-up to his 2022-23 breakout, averaging 17.3 points, 3.6 assists, and 2.4 threes in 28.9 minutes across nine games. St. John's product Julian Champagnie figures to continue starting for the skidding Spurs in the meantime, but head coach Gregg Popovich could be inclined to ride whoever has the hot hand out of Cedi Osman, Doug McDermott, and Malaki Branham off the bench.

San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell (groin) has been tagged as doubtful for Monday's contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. His left-groin strain has been giving him issues for a few weeks now and it has caused him to miss the last two and four total. While the Spurs aren't competing for a championship this year, they don't have a reason to rush him back, so they'll continue to play it safe. While he remains sidelined, Julian Champagnie and Tre Jones will continue seeing added minutes.

San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell (adductor) won't play on Saturday versus the visiting Grizzlies. The 23-year-old didn't suit up on Friday night in the loss to Sacramento, opening the door for Julian Champagnie to take his spot in the rotation. However, despite coming off the bench, Malaki Branham still outperformed Champagnie, finishing with 10 points and five assists in 28 minutes. Regardless of which man gets the start, they aren't dependable fantasy options, although Branham's upside is higher. Of course, Keldon Johnson, Victor Wembanyama, and Zach Collins should pick up most of the slack on the offensive end caused by Vassell's absence.

San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell (groin) will miss the team's in-season tournament game on Friday night due to left-groin tightness, which is what forced him to miss a couple of games a bit earlier in the season. This is likely a precautionary move so that he doesn't aggravate the injury. While Vassell is out and Tre Jones (hamstring) is doubtful, Malaki Branham will probably move up into the starting lineup, and Devonte' Graham should see some more time off of the bench.

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) participated in morning shootaround leading into Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. While it's certainly an encouraging update as Vassell works his way back from a left adductor strain he suffered on Nov. 2, he is still unlikely to play while tagged as doubtful for Wednesday's meeting. Things could always change following pregame warmups, but the 23-year-old is certainly facing an uphill battle to play against the Knicks. Vassell joined a post-practice 4-on-4 scrimmage to maintain his conditioning, so perhaps a return on Friday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves could be in the cards. Points-league aficionado Malaki Branham has been the direct beneficiary of Vassell's two missed games thus far, starting in both contests with an average of 26.9 minutes.

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) has officially been listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Knicks. He's missed a pair of games with a left adductor strain, and his chances of returning on Wednesday night don't appear to be high, but Vassell hasn't yet been fully ruled out. Malaki Branham will be in line for a third consecutive start if Vassell remains out. He's averaged 12.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists across the last two games. However, it will likely be difficult to rack up stats for everybody at Madison Square Garden, as the Knicks like to keep the pace low, and it will result in fewer attacking possessions and scoring chances.

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) looks set to miss another game on Wednesday against the Knicks. Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich has said he doesn't think Vassell will be available. The 23-year-old missed a second consecutive game Monday versus Indiana. Vassell is tied with Victor Wembanyama for the team lead in scoring with 19.4 points and has posted 3.4 rebounds with 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.0 minutes. His absence leaves a huge gap in the Spurs lineup. Malaki Branham hasn't been as effective after taking over Vassell's spot in the starting unit. He has totaled 12.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists.

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (groin) is listed as out for Monday's game versus the Indiana Pacers. There's not much of a surprise here, after Vassell sustained a left adductor strain on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. Head coach Gregg Popovich previously stated that the 23-year-old rising star would likely be out for a "while" following Thursday's affair, but the Spurs are labeling him day-to-day for now. Popovich also said that Vassell is set to be re-evaluated sometime after Monday's action, which should give him a more concrete return timeline. The offensive-minded Malaki Branham has been the direct beneficiary of Vassell's void, burying 8-of-9 shots for 16 points and six rebounds in a start during Sunday's 123-116 loss to the Toronto Raptors. Cedi Osman and Doug McDermott could pick up a few more minutes against Indy, too.

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (groin) won't play against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. He also isn't expected to suit up on Monday versus the Indiana Pacers. The 23-year-old, who signed a hefty extension in October, has had a quality season, averaging 19.4 points and shooting 40.7% from behind the arc. He could miss even more time beyond Monday's contest, meaning Malaki Branham may make multiple starts moving forward. Branham averaged 12.0 points and 3.8 rebounds in 32 starts last season, so he has some value for those participating in deeper fantasy setups. On the other hand, his shooting percentages aren't the best, which isn't appealing to category managers.

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (groin) is likely to be sidelined for a couple of games. The young forward was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It sounds like Vassell warmed up to return to the contest, but decided against returning. The team will have Vassell undergo an MRI on Friday. After that, the Spurs should give a better timetable on Vassell's return to the court. In the meantime, Malaki Branham, Devonte' Graham and Doug McDermott should all see additional run. None of them are great streaming options, but Branham probably has the best value out of the three.

San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell scored 13 points in Friday's victory over the Warriors. He added three rebounds, three assists, and a steal. The 23-year-old had his most productive season in 2022-23 and was rewarded with a hefty five-year, $146 million extension a few weeks ago. He was limited to only 38 games, primarily due to a knee injury. However, as long as Vassell stays healthy this season, he should be a reliable source of production for fantasy managers, although he likely won't do much for category participants outside of the scoring column.
