With the future Hall of Fame point guard guiding him, Vassell thrived in his first game back after foot surgery.
Spurs guard Devin Vassell benefited from having Chris Paul constantly in his ear Saturday against Utah . 'It was huge,' Vassell said of the guidance he received from the future Hall of Fame point guard. In his return from a foot injury that required surgery and forced him to miss the last eight games of 2023-24 and the first nine this season, Vassell leaned on Paul throughout the 111-110 loss to the Jazz.
Vassell connected on 3 of 6 tries from 3-point range against Utah after shooting 37.2% from deep last season. 'He can score the ball at all three levels, so it definitely brings a different dynamic to our team,' Keldon Johnson said. 'He can space the floor. He can put it on the floor. Just having him out there is huge for us.' Spacing has been a priority for the Spurs after watching opponents swarm Wembanyama with double- and triple-teams while sagging off his teammates.
