Following the San Antonio Spurs’ blowout loss to the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night, they bounced back with a win over that same Suns team on Monday. Fast forward to Wednesday, they won their second game in a row as Victor Wembanyama returned to the lineup after missing their win over Phoenix.
Wembanyama played well against the Jazz, but it wasn’t actually him to led the way. Instead, it was Devin Vassell who was the best player on the floor. Vassell finished the game with 31 points, four rebounds, and six assists while shooting 12-of-20 from the field and 4-of-8 from behind the three-point line.

“He’s becoming a real problem for defenses,” Wembanyama said of Vassell. “It’s beautiful to see him evolve like this throughout the year.”
Vassell’s emergence as an elite offensive talent is huge for the Spurs.
