San Antonio Spurs will need to find a way to cope without Devin Vassell
Drafted as the 11th overall pick by the San Antonio Spurs back in 2020, there are a lot of expectations on Devin Vassell's shoulders in his fourth year in the league. In the first four games, he was able to average 20.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists.
His best scoring output was against the Houston Rockets with 25 points and he followed it up with a 23-point performance against the Dallas Mavericks.
Before leaving the Phoenix Suns game, he was on his way to breaking his season-high in points but settled for 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the field and a perfect 3-of-3 beyond the 3-point line.
The San Antonio Spurs now own a 3-2 record and will be hosting the Toronto Raptors next on November 5. They will then for a two-game road trip against the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks from November 6 to 8 with Devin Vassell probably questionable in those matches depending on the MRI results.
