Tom Orsborn: Vassell's ankle injury isn't serious, just general soreness from playing heavy minutes of late, Mitch Johnson said. He'll be replaced in the starting lineup by Barnes. Harper and Kornet need to test things in warmups, but Mitch remains optimistic that they will be available.
Tom Orsborn: Vassell (sore ankle) is out for tonight’s game here in Sacramento. Kornet (sore knee) and Harper (bruised calf) are questionable.
Zack Hendrick: The San Antonio Spurs have won 10 in a row for the first time since 2015-2016. 110-107 over the Toronto Raptors. Six Spurs players finish in double figures. Devin Vassell the high scorer with 21 pts.
Tom Orsborn: Spurs more than measure up in a measuring stick game, downing the East-leading Pistons 114-103 for their 9th straight win. Vassell pumped in 28 points on the strength of 7 3s. Wemby finished with a hard-earned 21 points and 17 rebounds to go along with 6 blocks.
“He's really getting confident and comfortable in the league,” Spurs guard Devin Vassell said. “He went through a stretch where maybe he just wasn't himself. He wasn't mentally wherever he is at now. But right now he's turned that corner and he's being ultra-aggressive. That's what we need from him.” Said Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox, "Dylan's been great. When he's out there, he seems like a vet playing."

For many of the same reasons, it is a day mostly reviled in NBA locker rooms from Sacramento to San Antonio and beyond. “It's a stressful time not only for you, but players that you might know, teammates that you might know,” Spurs guard Devin Vassell said. “I can't wait for this trade deadline to be over, honestly.”
Tom Osborn: Devin Vassell told me he's not sure if the new starting five will continue: "I think we're just trying out new stuff to see different lineups, different ways how to space the floor, so we'll just see what happens with that. But I don't know if it's a permanent thing or not."
Spurs forward Devin Vassell is set to return to action Sunday at home against New Orleans after missing 13 games in a row with a left adductor strain. Vassell, who fully participated in Saturday morning's practice, said he expects to be on a minutes restriction against the Pelicans.

The timetable could be a bit longer for the Spurs' other missing starter, shooting guard Devin Vassell. Vassell suffered a left adductor strain in Monday's loss against Cleveland, an injury later confirmed by an MRI. "That will be more than a few games," Johnson said. "Just kind of have to continue to see how he ramps up and feels."
“I trust in Mitch 100%,” Spurs guard Devin Vassell said. “Mitch was my player development coach when I first got here, so I think me and him have an even better connection than the outside sees. But we all trust him. He’s the brains of all of this. He helps us with everything ... and we’re just going to keep relying on him. He’s our head coach and we trust in him.”
