Devin Vassell
Devin Vassell is among multiple San Antonio Spurs players who will miss the March 17 matchup against the Sacramento Kings.
The San Antonio Spurs (50-18) will travel to Sacramento to take on the only team that’s officially eliminated from playoff contention in the West, the Kings (18-51). It will be the second game in two days for the Spurs.
After his second 20-point game of March, starting guard Devin Vassell is among six Spurs players who are listed on the injury report for the second half of a back-to-back.
Spurs’ Devin Vassell, Dylan Harper, and Luke Kornet Listed on Injury Report vs. Kings
San Antonio appears to be giving Devin Vassell the day off. The sixth-year guard is listed as out on the NBA’s official injury report as he deals with left ankle soreness.
The 24-year-old has been a key piece to the Spurs’ success this season. Through 55 games (53 starts), Devin Vassell is averaging 14.3 points and 3.9 rebounds a game while shooting 34.8% from the field and 38.6% from three. His next opportunity to suit up will be on Thursday when the Spurs travel back home to take on the Phoenix Suns.
He will join a list of Spurs players who are sitting out of the contest that includes Emanuel Miller, Harrison Ingram, and David Jones Garcia. All of which are on G League assignments with the Austin Spurs.
Dylan Harper, 20, hasn’t played since the March 12 loss to the Denver Nuggets. He is listed as questionable while dealing with a right calf contusion. If unable to suit up, the 2025 No. 2 overall pick could miss a third straight game on Tuesday.
Luke Kornet, 30, missed the Spurs’ win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night due to right knee soreness. He’s labeled as questionable for San Antonio and could be missing his second straight contest.
Kings Injury Report
In a season that’s worth forgetting, the Sacramento Kings have been without key players like Domantas Sabonis (meniscus surgery) and Zach LaVine (finger tendon surgery) for the majority of the season. De’Andre Hunter (eye surgery) and Drew Eubanks (UCL surgery) are also players that are added to the season-ending injury list for Sacramento.
The Kings are also still without Keegan Murray, who suffered an ankle sprain on Feb. 25. He will miss his 10th straight contest on Tuesday.
Devin Carter is labeled as out with a right calf contusion. Isaiah Stevens and Patrick Baldwin Jr. are with the Kings’ G League team in Stockton and won’t be available.
Malik Monk, 28, has seen his usage rate decline this season. He hasn’t appeared in a game for the Kings since March 10 after suffering a right ankle sprain in Sacramento’s win over the Indiana Pacers. He’s listed as questionable and will have a chance to play on Tuesday.
San Antonio is still competing for the No. 1 seed in the West. Despite the Oklahoma City Thunder’s recent eight-game win streak, the Spurs are just three games behind them for the top spot.
Sacramento was officially eliminated from playoff contention on March 11. Although they aren’t playing for anything more than a better position in the 2026 NBA Draft, a win on Tuesday would be three in a row for the Kings.
