Remains sidelined Saturday
Vassell (foot) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Timberwolves, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.
Analysis
Vassell has yet to suit up this season while dealing recovering from right foot surgery. However, the 24-year-old guard was sent to the G League to progress in his rehab earlier this week, which indicates he is nearing a return to action. Until Vassell is able to play, Julian Champagnie, Stephon Castle and Malaki Branham should continue receiving increased playing time.

Rehab continues with G League trip
San Antonio assigned Vassell (foot) to the G League's Austin Spurs earlier Monday and recalled him.
Analysis
Vassell presumably went through a training camp practice with Austin, as the veteran wing has progressed to light contact work during recent workouts. Head coach Gregg Popovich also said he's expecting Vassell to be ready for game action during the first week of November, which remains in line with his Nov. 1 re-evaluation timeline. Regardless, Vassell needed a second surgery this summer after his right foot didn't heal properly from the first one, so the Spurs will likely remain cautious even when he's cleared to suit up. Across 68 appearances last season, Vassell averaged 19.5 points, 4.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 three-pointers and 1.1 steals in 33.1 minutes.

Targeting early November return
Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said Monday that he expects Vassell (foot) to return during the first week of November, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Vassell was slated to be re-evaluated Nov. 1, so while Popovich's comments don't come as a major surprise, it implies the shooting guard remains on track with his rehab. Vassell needed a second surgery in late June after his right foot didn't heal properly from the first one, so the Spurs will likely remain cautious with him, even if the updates continue to be positive. Across 68 appearances in 2023-24, Vassell averaged 19.5 points, 4.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 three-pointers and 1.1 steals in 33.1 minutes.
