What happened to Devin Vassell? Latest Injury update from Spurs camp

The San Antonio Spurs earned a rousing victory against the Phoenix Suns but potentially at the expense of Devin Vassell. He left the game in the second half and was not able to return. After the game, the Spurs gave an update on the former Florida State Seminole.

It appears that Devin Vassell will have an MRI after suffering a groin injury. During the post-game press conference, Coach Gregg Popovich indicated that the six-foot-five swingman would be 'out for a while'.

The San Antonio Spurs even without Vassell managed to pull off a convincing win over the Phoenix Suns with the final score of 132-121. Leading the charge was Victor Wembanyama, who had his best game of the season with 38 points, 10 rebounds, three triples, two blocks and one steal.

Helping him out was Zach Collins, who had 19 points and eight boards while Jeremy Sochan stepped up with 14 points, nine assists and five rebounds.

Wemby won his personal matchup with his childhood idol Kevin Durant, who was able to tally 28 points, six rebounds and two blocks.

Devin Booker returned from injury and was able to lead the Suns with 31 points, 13 assists and nine rebounds.

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.
