On Wednesday night, the San Antonio Spurs played their first road game in over two weeks. They enjoyed a nice homestand capped off by a win over the Phoenix Suns, and they were able to keep up that momentum on the road. They took down the Utah Jazz by a score of 118-111 as Victor Wembanyama reentered the lineup after a one-game absence.
However, in a nice change of pace, Wembanyama wasn’t the star of the show on Wednesday. Instead, it was Devin Vassell, who dropped a team-high 31 points against the Jazz. The fourth-year wing completely dominated the offensive end of the floor.

“Get downhill, get to my spots, pick them apart,” Vassell said. “If they’re trapping me, I can hit the short roll or skip or whatever the pass is, and they’ve been knocking down shots.”
In addition to his 31 points, Vassell also added four rebounds, six assists, and one steal to his totals. He shot 12-of-20 from the floor and 4-of-8 from behind the three-point line.
