Victor Wembanyama Returns To Spurs Lineup

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (back) will return from a two-game absence on Sunday against New Orleans. A back problem has kept Wembanyama on the sidelines for a couple of games, but he's good to go again on Sunday in a juicy matchup. The Pelicans have a weak frontcourt, resulting in the team allowing the ninth-most fantasy points in the league to opposing centers. Wembanyama will head out for his fourth consecutive double-double, and his recent work also includes a triple-double.

Victor Wembanyama Questionable For Sunday

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (back) is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. After missing the last two games due to bilateral low back soreness, the 20-year-old could make his return to the court on Sunday. Wembanyama has been a fantasy standout this season, averaging 23.5 points, 10.4 rebounds, and leading the league with 3.4 blocks per game. Fantasy managers will want to check back for updates as game time approaches.

Zach Collins Makes Fourth Start Of The Campaign

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins will re-enter the starting lineup on Friday against Sacramento. He will replace Jeremy Sochan, who filled in for Victor Wembanyama (back) on Thursday. Sochan has just returned from injury, and it looks like the team wants to manage his load after he had a 36-minute outing Thursday night against Chicago. He should still play a significant role in Friday's game. Collins has averaged 16.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in three previous starts this season. He faces a tough matchup against Domantas Sabonis on Friday, which might limit Collins' offensive contributions.

Devin Vassell Sits Out Friday's Game

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (foot) will exit the lineup on Friday against Sacramento. This is the second leg of a back-to-back for the Spurs, and Vassell will be rested for the contest as he continues to manage a right foot injury. Vassell has been used as a microwave scorer off the bench this season. He's averaged 17.8 points in 23.5 minutes across eight outings. His absence on Friday will give his teammates a lot of additional scoring opportunities. With Victor Wembanyama (back) also on the shelf, Keldon Johnson will be expected to lead the offense alongside Chris Paul and Jeremy Sochan. Johnson scored a team-high 28 points in Thursday's 139-124 loss to Chicago.

Victor Wembanyama Remains Out On Friday

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (back) will remain sidelined on Friday against Sacramento. A back problem will keep the French phenom out for a second consecutive contest after he was labeled as a game-time decision earlier in the evening. Jeremy Sochan moved to the first unit as Wembanyama's replacement on Thursday against Chicago, with Zach Collins and Charles Bassey seeing additional action as reserve bigs. Sochan had a nice 16-point, 14-rebound double-double, while Collins put together a decent all-around line. Both players should be good options for fantasy managers again on Friday.

Victor Wembanyama Won't Play On Thursday Night

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (back) won't play in Thursday's game against the visiting Bulls. The 20-year-old has a case of lower back soreness. But the Spurs also play on Friday against Sacramento, so the team may just be playing it safe. As expected, Wembanyama has had a quality year, averaging 23.5 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.4 blocks, and 1.3 steals. As a result, there will be plenty of shots up for grabs, with Chris Paul, Stephon Castle, and Jeremy Sochan potentially on tap to get more scoring opportunities. Zach Collins should also slide into Wemby's spot in the rotation and is worth streaming in all fantasy formats.

Jeremy Sochan Will Play Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (thumb) is set to make his return Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns after missing the team's last 13 games recovering from left thumb surgery. He is expected to come off the bench and may see limited minutes as he eases back into action. In seven appearances this season, Sochan has been a valuable contributor, averaging 15.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, and shooting 51.2% from the field over 29.3 minutes per game. His presence and athleticism will be a welcome boost for the Spurs, and fantasy managers will be eager to see if he can maintain his efficiency following his return.

Jeremy Sochan Expected To Return On Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (thumb) appears ready to rejoin the lineup on Tuesday against Phoenix. He has been listed as probable on the injury report. A fractured thumb has robbed Sochan of 13 games. He looked good before the injury happened, averaging 15.4 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.0 steals. Stephon Castle has run with the starters during Sochan's absence, although Julian Champagnie might be the one who has to make way in the first unit for Sochan.

Devin Vassell Expected To Return On Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (knee) will sit out a fifth consecutive game on Tuesday versus Utah but is expected to be back on the court Wednesday night against the Lakers. Vassell missed the start of the campaign with a foot injury and has now been out with a knee contusion. He's been limited to four appearances, averaging 16.3 points and 3.5 assists in 22.5 minutes. Vassell had a bench role in the few games he played earlier in the season, but he's previously been a starter for San Antonio and will likely threaten Stephon Castle's spot in the first unit once he's fully up to speed.

Keldon Johnson  • SF  •  Spurs

Keldon Johnson Listed Probable For Tuesday Night

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (hamstring) is listed as probable for Tuesday night's game against the Utah Jazz. Johnson missed Saturday night's win against Golden State with a hamstring strain but is good enough to get back into the action for Tuesday. Johnson has been a solid option off the Spurs' bench, averaging 12.5 PPG and 5.7 RPG. His fantasy value could improve if he brings up his pitiful 28.8% shooting from three, well below his career mark of 35.5%. Johnson has already faced the Jazz three times this season, averaging 13.0 PPG and 5.3 RPG. Expect him to put up at least his season averages off the bench on Tuesday night.

Victor Wembanyama Upgraded To Probable

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (knee) is probable for Saturday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. He has missed the last three games because of a knee contusion. While the 20-year-old was questionable to play early on Saturday, his designation was upgraded, meaning there's a good chance he'll be out there. As expected, Wembanyama has had a fantastic year, averaging 22.7 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 3.3 blocks. Turnovers are still an issue, and his three-point shooting could also improve. Yet, he's a must-start if he gets the green light, even if he plays fewer minutes than normal. Even so, his presence would make Zach Collins mostly irrelevant in most fantasy setups.

Zach Collins Cleared To Play Thursday

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (knee) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Thursday's matchup against Utah. Collins should continue to fill in as the starting center for Victor Wembanyama (knee). He's averaged 16.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks in the first unit lately. The Jazz allow the most fantasy points in the league to opposing centers, making this a dream matchup for Collins. Charles Bassey might get some joy behind him as well.

Chris Paul  • PG  •  Spurs

Chris Paul Good To Go Thursday

San Antonio Spurs point guard Chris Paul (thumb) will suit up against Utah on Thursday. He's dealing with a left thumb injury but will be ready to play through it, with the team upgrading him from probable to available. After initially struggling in his new surroundings, Paul has performed well lately and is nicely set up for success on Thursday. San Antonio remains without Victor Wembanyama (knee) and Devin Vassell (knee), giving Paul more offensive responsibilities, while the Jazz tend to have a tough time against opposing point guards.

Devin Vassell To Miss Third Consecutive Game

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (knee) will sit out a third consecutive game on Thursday against Utah. After missing the start of the season due to foot surgery. Vassell is carrying a sore left knee The 24-year-old has been limited to four appearances, averaging 16.3 points and 3.5 assists in 22.5 minutes. Vassell's health issues have helped Stephon Castle to nail down a spot in the starting unit. The 20-year-old rookie has averaged 13.3 points and 4.5 assists in a starting role. Vassell's absence also boosts the fantasy appeal of Keldon Johnson, but he's been extremely inconsistent this season.

Chris Paul  • PG  •  Spurs

Chris Paul Considered Probable For Thursday's Game

San Antonio Spurs point guard Chris Paul (thumb) is expected to remain in the lineup on Thursday versus Utah, with the team listing him as probable for the game. The veteran floor general hurt his left thumb against Oklahoma City but was able to finish the contest. It looks like it's not a very serious injury, and Paul will be good to go for Thursday's juicy matchup -- only Chicago and Washington have allowed more fantasy points to opposing points guards than Utah. Paul has bagged three double-doubles in his last five appearances, averaging 10.7 points and 8.5 assists for the season.

Zach Collins Uncertain To Play On Thursday

San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (knee) is questionable heading into Thursday night's matchup against the Utah Jazz. Collins is dealing with left knee tendinitis but hasn't missed a game yet this season. The 27-year-old has made two straight starts filling in for Victor Wembanyama who will miss his third straight game on Thursday. Collins has notched 20 and 12 points in his two starts while grabbing six and seven boards. If active, fantasy managers should expect Collins to be in double-digits again. If he's not active, expect Charles Bassey to get the start.

Victor Wembanyama Out Again On Thursday

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (knee) remains out for Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 20-year-old has a right knee contusion, so he'll miss his third-straight game. Zach Collins (knee) has been starting in his place, most recently logging 12 points, seven boards, one steal, and one block in the NBA Cup win over the Thunder. But with Collins questionable for Thursday's meeting, Sandro Mamukelashvili could be worth streaming if he enters the starting lineup. Mamukelashvili would also be a popular DFS value option if Collins is out.

Devin Vassell  • SG  •  Spurs

Devin Vassell Listed As Questionable On Tuesday

According to independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan, San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder due to left knee soreness. Vassell didn't play the second half of San Antonio's back-to-back Saturday against Dallas for rest purposes. However, the 24-year-old's late addition to the injury could cause some concern. If Vassell cannot suit up, Stephon Castle, Malaki Branham, and Tre Jones could see an uptick in minutes on the court.

Victor Wembanyama Unavailable On Tuesday

According to independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan, San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Wembanyama being sidelined was not surprising after he was listed as doubtful on the Spurs injury report on Monday. With the 20-year-old out, Zach Collins will likely start. During Collins' last outing, he registered 20 points, six rebounds, three blocks, and one steal across 26 minutes against the Mavs on Saturday.

Victor Wembanyama Doubtful Against OKC On Tuesday

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (knee) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against OKC. The 20-year-old has a bruised right knee, keeping him off the floor for Saturday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Zach Collins got the start in his place, finishing with 20 points, six rebounds, and three blocks. Unfortunately, he shot a rough 0-for-5 from behind the arc. But with Wembanyama trending toward missing another game, Collins should be considered a starting fantasy option. There's also a good chance he'll turn his shooting woes around.
