Vassell finished with 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block in 34 minutes during Monday's 125-109 loss to the Lakers.
Vassell has scored in double digits in each of his 10 outings this month, but he's done more than just scoring. He's also recorded two double-doubles while putting up decent rebounds and assists. With De'Aaron Fox (finger) and Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) out for the rest of the season, Vassell should continue to have a prominent role on offense for the Spurs. He's averaging 19.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game since the beginning of the month.

Vassell ended Saturday's 119-115 win over the Pelicans with 22 points (6-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals across 36 minutes.
Vassell is expected to be one of the Spurs' top producers down the stretch with Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) and De'Aaron Fox (finger) out for the season. He delivered Saturday with a second consecutive 22-point game after posting the same total against Charlotte on Friday night.
Vassell posted 22 points (9-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Friday's 145-134 loss to Charlotte.

The 24-year-old swingman has averaged 19.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.9 steals, 1.0 blocks and 3.0 three-pointers in 33.4 minutes during this stretch, and he should continue handling a more pronounced role with De'Aaron Fox (finger) and Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) done for the season.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Iffy to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Vassell is questionable for Wednesday's game against Dallas due to a right wrist contusion, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
The right wrist contusion is a new injury for Vassell, who hasn't missed an outing since Dec. 6. If the 24-year-old swingman is unable to play Wednesday, Julian Champagnie and Keldon Johnson could see a bump in minutes. Over 11 games since the All-Star break, Vassell has averaged 15.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals across 30.9 minutes per contest.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Career-best outing in victory
Rotowire
Vassell produced 37 points (14-20 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, four steals and one block over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 127-113 win over Brooklyn.

Vassell delivered a productive night on the defensive end as well, tying his career-high mark of four swipes.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Puts up 20 points in win
Rotowire
Vassell ended Saturday's 130-128 win over Memphis with 20 points (9-19 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes.
De'Aaron Fox grabbed most of the headlines after sinking the game-winning shot in the final seconds, but Vassell delivered an impressive outing in his own right. He reached the 20-point mark for the second time in his last three outings, but that doesn't negate the fact he's been struggling from the field since the All-Star break. In six games since that recess, Vassell is averaging 12.2 points and 3.7 boards per game while shooting a meager 36.5 percent from the floor.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Poor shooting night Monday
Rotowire
Vassell registered seven points (2-9 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Monday's 131-121 victory over the Wizards.
Vassell matched his third-lowest scoring output of the season amid Monday's poor shooting night. However, the 24-year-old swingman has reached double-digit scoring figures in all but five of his 36 games in 2024-25, so fantasy managers can expect him to rebound in the scoring department in short order. With that said, Vassell is in line for a decrease in ball-handling responsibilities for the remainder of the season due to the recent addition of De'Aaron Fox in San Antonio's backcourt.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Scores team-high 25 points
Rotowire
Vassell produced 25 points (11-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 112-111 loss to the Magic.
Vassell produced an efficient night Saturday, leading the Spurs with 25 points. The arrival of De'Aaron Fox doesn't appear to have impacted Vassell too much, as he is averaging 20.0 points, 2.0 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in three games since the trade. The Spurs look as though they will push to be part of the postseason, ensuring Vassell should have a sizeable role for the remainder of the campaign.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Unflattering performance
Rotowire
Vassell posted 11 points (5-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 128-109 loss to Memphis.
Vassell continues to struggle with efficiency, shooting under 40 percent from the field for the fourth time in the past five games. During that time he has contributed just two steals, rounding out what has been a disappointing stretch. Through 32 games, he is averaging 16.1 points, 1.1 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 30.1 minutes per game. The impending arrival of De'Aaron Fox is likely going to have an impact on Vassell, especially when it comes to usage and shot attempts.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Matches season high with five treys
Rotowire
Vassell recorded 23 points (9-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 126-102 win over the Lakers.
Monday marked Vassell's first game with at least 20 points since a Dec. 29 loss to the Timberwolves, as the swingman registered a team-high-tying 23 points. The 24-year-old is still searching for a rhythm after missing the onset of the campaign due to a knee injury, but Vassell is averaging a productive 16.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.0 threes in 33.9 minutes over his last seven appearances. With that said, he's shooting just 39.8 percent from the field and 29.2 percent from deep during this span, so fantasy managers are hoping for Vassell to improve his shooting efficiency moving ahead.

It's the first time this season Vassell has produced multiple steals and blocks in the same game. The fifth-year forward has been a consistent secondary contributor for the Spurs since moving into the starting lineup in mid-December -- he's scored in double digits in nine of the last 10 games, averaging 14.8 points, 5.0 boards, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 threes over that stretch.

Vassell had another solid showing as a starter, and he's establishing himself as a reliable secondary scoring option for the Spurs behind Victor Wembanyama. This was Vassell's third game with at least 18 points across his last four outings, and he's reached the 15-point mark in five of his nine appearances since returning to a starting role on Dec. 19.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Clutch effort Friday

Vassell contributed 18 points (7-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 113-110 victory over the Nuggets.
Vassell's final stat line wasn't eye-popping by any means, but he came through when the Spurs needed him the most, as he stole the ball on the final possession of the game to cement the team's win on the road. Vassell also bounced back from the eight-point dud (4-14 FG) he delivered in the win over the Clippers on Dec. 31. He's averaging 14.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.5 steals per game since returning to the starting lineup eight games ago.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Quiet in loss Wednesday
Rotowire
Vassell had 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 117-114 loss to the Knicks.
Vassell delivered a somewhat quiet performance, continuing a modest run over the past couple of weeks. In that time, he has averaged 14.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 30.6 minutes per game. Although his production has left a little to be desired, the fact he is now starting and playing upwards of 30 minutes per night shouldn't be overlooked. As he continues to get his legs under him, his production should come around, perhaps sooner rather than later.

Rotowire
Vassell racked up 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and two steals across 23 minutes during Saturday's 114-94 win over the Trail Blazers.
Vassell was one of five Spurs who scored in double digits in this game, and the former FSU standout should remain one of the Spurs' primary options on offense, especially now that he's been starting. Vassell has shot a combined 14-for-26 from the field, including 5-for-11 from deep, in his first two starts of the campaign.

Spurs' Devin Vassell: Held to four points
Rotowire
Vassell accumulated four points (2-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt) over 25 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 loss to Minnesota.
Vassell was held to single-digit points for the second time this season, with both of those coming over the past three outings. He's still been productive in December, however, posting averages of 16.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers. He's doing that in just 26.7 minutes as well, so fantasy managers will be hoping his minutes trend up after the new year.
