Spurs rule out Devin Vassell for Monday night's game at Phoenix
It will be the first game this season without the seventh-year forward, who is averaging 11.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists.
PHOENIX - The red-hot Spurs will be without Devin Vassell when they face the Phoenix Suns on Monday night.
The Spurs, who have won eight games in a row, downgraded the starting forward from questionable to out because of left adductor tightness after shootaround at the Mortgage Matchup Center.
It's unclear when Vassell suffered the injury.
The seventh-year pro played 21 minutes in the Spurs' 125-103 pounding of Portland on Saturday night, finishing with 15 points on 4 of 8 from the field and 2 of 4 from 3-point range. He also had three assists, two rebounds and two steals.
Through 10 games this season, Vassell is averaging 30.0 minutes, 11.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.7 steals while shooting 35.6% from beyond the arc on 3.4 attempts and a team-high 96.2% from the free-throw line.
Forward Tobias Harris was also ruled out of Monday's game. The 16th-year player has yet to make his debut with the Spurs after suffering a calf injury in the first week of training camp.
The Spurs signed Harris to a two-year deal worth $31 million in the offseason.
