Devin Vassell itching to join the Spurs’ fight
Six weeks after an arthroscopic knee procedure, Devin Vassell is turning up his workouts a notch and expects to be back soon after the All-Star break.ATLANTA — The Spurs’ buses long since had departed Little Caesar’s Arena in Detroit on Friday, leaving Devin Vassell behind.Six weeks into his recovery from an arthroscopic knee procedure, Vassell was ready for his turn to work up a sweat.
Doctors told Vassell surgery could wait until the offseason. But with the Spurs light years from competing in any sort of playoff race, the team and Vassell’s camp decided it was time to get him healthy. The previous record holder was Willie Anderson, who tallied 30 in his first NBA game in the 1988-89 season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Not only had he been dealt to the Spurs, but he needed to be on a 6:45 p.m. flight to join the team in Detroit.By the end of the day Friday, Graham was playing Pop-A-Shot against the Pistons. Had it not been for knee surgery, Vassell might have returned to his old stomping grounds a conquering hero.
