Devin Vassell’s determination to return after knee surgery represents team’s anti-tank...
San Antonio Spurs Devin Vassell shots in the second half on Monday, Dec. 26 2022 at the AT&T Center. San Antonio Spurs defeated the Utah Jazz 126-122.He doesn’t care that you didn’t want him to return following his midseason knee surgery. He doesn’t care that you wouldn’t mind seeing the Spurs lose nearly all their remaining games. He doesn’t care that you fall asleep each night thinking about Victor Wembanyama starring in an H-E-B commercial.
With that in mind, the return of Vassell is seen as a boon to efforts to use the final weeks of the season to further increase the on-court chemistry of a supporting cast with whom they hope to surround Wembanyama or presumed No. 2 pick Scoot Henderson. The return of Vassell and Jones, who missed five straight with an injured foot before suiting up against the Pacers, gives the young players a chance to jell even more before the curtain falls April 9 on one of the Spurs’ worst seasons.
Said Jones, “To be able to just play as much as we can together and just continue to jell and try to build chemistry, try to figure this thing out as much as we can, is definitely big. Trying to get us all healthy, get us all on the court together is definitely something we want to do.” But those numbers don’t reflect everything Sochan, 19, does for the Spurs. Setting screens, chasing down loose balls, directing traffic — he takes pride in all of it and so many other contributions that don’t show up in the box score.Branham, 19, has also impressed, coming off an impressive February in which he led all NBA rookies with a 16.8 scoring average.
