Devin Vassell's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell (foot) is anticipated to miss the start of the season. The 2020 No. 11 overall pick averaged a career-high 19.5 points last season. Unfortunately, he suffered a stress fracture in his right foot and was sidelined near the end of the 2023-24 campaign. An update on Vassell's status isn't expected until November 1, although it's unknown when he'll be back on the floor. Without question, the latest update won't earn him attention from fantasy managers heading into the year, especially since he remains without a firm return date. To make matters worse, it should take him time to ramp up to his usual workload once cleared. But until Vassell is back, Malaki Branham, averaging 11.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 29 starts last season, will likely take his place in the rotation.

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 Blake Wesley could all get extended minutes.
