Devin Vassell Cleared to Return Sunday vs. Pelicans

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (adductor) is available for Sunday's game against New Orleans, officially ending a 13-game absence tied to a strained left adductor. His minutes are expected to be monitored in his first action since late December, adding some short-term risk. Vassell has averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 31.9 minutes this season when healthy. His return reshapes the wing rotation and likely trims Julian Champagnie's role after the hot-shooting forward averaged 15.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 4.0 three-pointers over his last five games.

Jeremy Sochan Active Against Jazz

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Jeremy Sochan (illness) has been upgraded to available for Thursday's meeting with the Utah Jazz. He was initially listed as questionable by the team. Unfortunately, Sochan hasn't been relevant in fantasy basketball this season, averaging 4.4 points and 2.8 rebounds in 13.5 minutes across 26 appearances. On Thursday night, Sochan could play a role in the rotation because Luke Kornet (adductor) is absent from San Antonio's lineup.

Luke Kornet Ruled Out Against Jazz

San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet (adductor) won't play against the Utah Jazz on Thursday. Kornet is dealing with left adductor tightness. His next chance to suit up is Sunday versus New Orleans. The 30-year-old big man has played in 36 games this campaign, averaging 8.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.3 blocks in 24.3 minutes per contest. With Kornet out of action this evening, 36-year-old veteran Kelly Olynyk will likely jump back into the rotation and backup star center Victor Wembanyama.

Stephon Castle is Available on Saturday

San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (illness) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was tagged as questionable coming into the game, but will play through the illness. In January, Castle is averaging 15.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 6.6 assists in eight contests. He has scored 15 or more points in six of his last eight games. The second-year guard should be rostered and started in basically all fantasy formats.

Stephon Castle Questionable for Saturday

San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (illness) is in danger of missing Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, as the team listed him as questionable on the injury report. The 2025 NBA Rookie of the Year is battling an illness, which could force him out of the lineup for the first time since Dec. 8. Castle just notched his seventh double-double of the season, building on his impressive rookie year with a strong sophomore campaign. If Castle is unavailable against Minnesota, Dylan Harper and Lindy Waters III are likely to see increased playing time.

Devin Vassell Remains Out Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (adductor) will miss an eighth straight game on Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said Saturday that Vassell's rehab is going well, but there isn't a timetable for his return. Julian Champagnie will continue to start in Vassell's absence. He has posted three double-doubles over the past seven games, averaging 17.9 points and 9.1 rebounds. However, Champagnie has struggled mightily on offense against the Thunder this season, averaging only 2.3 points per game across three meetings.

Victor Wembanyama Cleared for Sunday

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (knee) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He will shed the questionable tag and play through a left knee bone bruise. The knee issue hasn't impacted his performance as he finished with 21 points, six rebounds, and three blocks across 26 minutes on Saturday. The Spurs have been monitoring his minutes lately, but it hasn't stopped him from being an elite fantasy option. Fantasy managers can safely get Wembanyama back in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Julian Champagnie • SF • Spurs

Julian Champagnie Will Play Saturday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Julian Champagnie (back) has received the green light to play on Saturday night against the Boston Celtics, Matt Guzman of Sports Illustrated reports. He was initially listed as questionable for the game. Champagnie has quietly had a solid campaign with the Spurs, averaging 11.1 points and 5.9 rebounds, both career highs. Recently, Champagnie has benefited from Devin Vassell's (adductor) absence, starting five consecutive games. This stretch includes a pair of 20-point outings for Champagnie and a huge 36-point career night against the New York Knicks.

Julian Champagnie • SF • Spurs

Julian Champagnie May Sit Saturday vs. Boston

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Julian Champagnie (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against Boston due to mid-back soreness. With Devin Vassell (adductor) sidelined, Champagnie has stepped into a larger role, starting and averaging 19.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.0 steals in 32.0 minutes. If he sits, wing minutes open up. Keldon Johnson becomes the primary beneficiary after posting 27 points in 28 minutes last game. Dylan Harper has shown inconsistent production, while Lindy Waters III has barely played lately, keeping both as risky deep-league options.

Victor Wembanyama Returns to Spurs Lineup With Minutes Restriction

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (knee) will come off the bench and have a minutes restriction on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies, ESPN's Michael C. Wright reports. Due to a knee injury, Wembanyama has missed two games and was initially listed as questionable for the meeting with Memphis. Last month, when Wembanyama returned from a calf injury, he also had a bench role for a while, averaging 18.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 21.7 minutes as a reserve. Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk will be less involved in the rotation with Wembanyama back.

Victor Wembanyama a Game-Time Decision For Tuesday Night

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (knee) is a game-time decision Tuesday night when his team visits the Memphis Grizzlies. The French phenom participated in shootaround Tuesday morning and said he feels good. However, the Spurs are on the front end of a back-to-back and notoriously safe with managing injuries. Should he sit, Luke Kornet will pick up another start, with Kelly Olynyk operating as the second-string big. If Wembanyama gives it a go, Kornet is likely to move back to the bench, and Olynyk will be out of the rotation.

Victor Wembanyama Questionable Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. The French phenom has missed a pair of games with a bone bruise in his left knee, but he has a chance to return to the lineup on Tuesday. However, as this marks the beginning of a back-to-back for San Antonio, Wembanyama could still sit out some more action this week. Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk have had larger workloads with Wembanyama out of the lineup. Olynyk could fall out of the rotation once Wembanyama is back at 100 percent.

Devin Vassell to Miss "More Than a Few Games"

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (adductor) was injured in Monday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. An MRI confirmed an adductor strain, already costing him meetings with the Knicks and most recently, Friday's win over the Indiana Pacers. Unfortunately, Vassell is projected to miss additional contests moving ahead, with head coach Mitch Johnson stating that the 25-year-old will be sidelined for "more than a few games." Vassell's production is down this season compared to previous campaigns, although he's still averaging 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. It's unknown how long he'll be on the shelf. In the meantime, Justin Champagnie is expected to replace him in the rotation. However, Dylan Harper, coming off a 22-point effort, should benefit more, especially if Victor Wembanyama (knee) remains out.

Devin Vassell Remains Sidelined Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (adductor) will remain sidelined on Friday against the Indiana Pacers. He will miss a second straight game due to an adductor strain. The 25-year-old likely also won't play in Saturday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers, as Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said prior to Wednesday's win over the New York Knicks that Vassell will be out for "more than a game or two." With Vassell out, Julian Champagnie stepped into the starting unit on Wednesday and had a career night with 36 points. Keldon Johnson, who notched 19 points and eight rebounds off the bench, also sees more action as a result of Vassell's absence.

Victor Wembanyama to Miss at Least One Game

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. He hasn't traveled with the team to Indianapolis after hurting his left knee during Wednesday's win over the New York Knicks. Fortunately, an MRI on Thursday showed that the French superstar didn't suffer any ligament damage. Initially, Wembanyama announced that he expected to play on Friday night. However, he will sit out at least one game and is considered day-to-day. Sources have told ESPN that San Antonio will list Wembanyama as questionable for Saturday's home game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Luke Kornet is set to start in Wembanyama's place on Friday, while Kelly Olynyk will get more burn off the bench.

Victor Wembanyama Expects to Play Next Game After Suffering Minor Knee Injury

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (knee) was limited to 24 minutes in Wednesday's win over the New York Knicks but escaped serious injury. Wembanyama's left knee buckled when he tried to grab a rebound early in the fourth quarter. He was subbed out of the game with 10:32 remaining in the quarter, and Wembanyama didn't return to the contest. After the game, Wembanyama said he suffered a hyperextension and expected to be back for the next game. San Antonio continues the season with a back-to-back on Friday and Saturday. The team will probably be cautious with its superstar, meaning Wembanyama might still sit out some action this week even if he feels ready to play.

Stephon Castle Active on Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (thumb) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's matchup with the New York Knicks. Castle carried a questionable tag due to a sprained left thumb, but he has since been cleared for action ahead of tonight's tilt. The 21-year-old could be in line for a productive evening in all fantasy formats as he's posted averages of 20.0 points, 6.2 assists, and 4.1 rebounds in 29.2 minutes per game across 10 appearances in December. In his last outing on Monday in a loss to Cleveland, he finished with 15 points, eight assists, four rebounds, and one steal in 34 minutes.

Devin Vassell Ruled Out for Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (adductor) won't play on New Year's Eve against the New York Knicks. He has sustained a left adductor strain and could miss more than one game. Keldon Johnson or Julian Champagnie will replace Vassell in the starting unit, with Dylan Harper also in a position to see more minutes. On Wednesday, another chunk of playing time would open up in the rotation if Stephon Castle (thumb) misses the game. He is currently tagged as questionable on the injury report.

Stephon Castle Iffy for Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (thumb) may be unavailable for the final game of 2025 on Wednesday against the New York Knicks, as the team has listed him as questionable for the matchup. The 2025 Rookie of the Year has sprained his left thumb. Devin Vassell (adductor) has already been ruled out for the game, so San Antonio could have two spots to fill in the starting lineup. Dylan Harper looks the likeliest replacement for Castle. The 19-year-old rookie has played well throughout the season, but a spot in the first unit would enhance his fantasy value.

De'Aaron Fox • PG • Spurs

De'Aaron Fox Ready to Rock Monday

San Antonio Spurs point guard De'Aaron Fox (adductor) has shed the questionable tag and will return from a one-game absence on Monday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Julian Champagnie, who filled in for Fox in the starting unit on Saturday against the Utah Jazz, will move back to the bench. Fox took Saturday off after a superb Christmas Day debut, during which he produced 29 points on 12-for-19 shooting in a victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. His recent play has been inconsistent, and he'll aim to find more stability with his performance on Monday.
