San Antonio Spurs' forward Devin Vassell, who began 2025 in a 24-of-67 shooting slump, is hoping for improvement.

On Wednesday night, the San Antonio Spurs allowed the Memphis Grizzlies to drop 78 points in the second half, losing 126-115. While Devin Vassell bounced back after a couple of slow games and Stephon Castle set a career-high with 26 points, Victor Wembanyama, as usual, dominated the post-game storylines.

Vassell amassed 21 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and five assists across 32 minutes during Friday's 140-112 loss to the Grizzlies. Vassell has been very productive since being promoted to a starting role on a permanent basis in mid-December,

NBA fans are often prone to overreaction, and a rough stretch of games from Devin Vassell has caused some fans to go as far as saying the San Antonio Spurs should trade him away. That is a strong overreaction, but the core of the argument is spot-on: Vassell simply hasn't been good enough this season, especially lately.

Little did guard Devin Vassell know a 27-foot three-pointer in the first quarter etched him into franchise history.

Damian Lillard had 26 points and eight assists, Giannis Antetokounmpo had 25 points, 16 rebounds and eight assists, and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the San Antonio Spurs 121-105.

Vassell recorded 23 points (9-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 126-102 win over the Lakers.

I think this was just a deviation from what we’ve been doing," says Harrison Barnes of the Spurs' lapses against the Bucks.

With all the uncertainty the Spurs have faced the last few days, Devin Vassell felt like a rookie again. "It feels like COVID kind of all over again," the forward said. But the team gained some clarity Sunday after practice when the NBA informed it that Monday night's game against the Lakers would be played as scheduled,

James Harden scored 21 points to go along with 12 assists, Ivica Zubac added 21 points and 19 rebounds and the Los Angeles Clippers earned a 116-102 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.

Christian Braun added 20 points and 11 rebounds for the Nuggets, who won their six straight road game. Jamal Murray scored 19 points and Michael Porter Jr. had 15 points and six rebounds. Wendell Carter Jr. led Orlando with 16 points and 13 rebounds. Anthony Black came off the bench with 14 points and five assists.

With a 7-game slate on deck, tonight's NBA matchups promise high-stakes battles and opportunities for redemption. Here’s our breakdown.
