Vassell's Minutes Jump +9 a Night Over Last 3 Games
Devin Vassell is playing nine more minutes a night than his season average, and his scoring has barely moved.
Devin Vassell's minutes are up nine a night over his last three games for the Spurs, through June 13, 2026. He played 39.2 minutes a night in that stretch, against a season average of 30.5. That is a real jump in workload, not a rounding difference.
The scoring has not followed the same path. Vassell is averaging 13.7 points a game over those three games, close to his season mark of 13.9. More minutes, same production. That gap is the story: San Antonio is leaning on him for a bigger share of the game without getting more points out of him for it.
For this to hold, the Spurs need Vassell to stay healthy and the team needs to keep using him in this expanded role through the rest of the 2025-26 season. If the extra minutes are covering for an injury elsewhere on the roster, the workload makes sense as a short-term fix. If that injury heals and the rotation resets, his minutes should fall back toward his season average.
Watch the next few games for the direction of his scoring as the minutes stay elevated. If his points start climbing along with the minutes, the Spurs have found a bigger role for him that's working. If the minutes stay up and the scoring stays flat, it's a workload increase without a payoff yet.
