Spurs rule out Devin Vassell (hip) on Saturday
San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Devin Vassell (hip) will not play in Saturday's game versus the Golden State Warriors.
What It Means:
Vassell is sidelined at home after the Spurs decided their guard could not go due to hip soreness. In a favorable matchup against a Golden State unit ranked 17th in defensive rating, Malaki Branham should play an increased role at shooting guard while Zach Collins and Keldon Johnson should see increases in their usage rates.
In 120 minutes with today's injuries, Branham is averaging 0.71 FanDuel points per minute and a 18.8% usage rate.
