Wembanyama, Vassell Out for Spurs-Jazz Game

The San Antonio Spurs are facing a significant setback as they prepare to host the Utah Jazz on Thursday, with key players Victor Wembanyama and Devin Vassell ruled out due to injuries.

Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs' leading scorer, will miss his third consecutive game as he recovers from a knee contusion. The injury occurred on November 15 when he collided with Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis. Wembanyama has been a pivotal figure for the Spurs, averaging 22.7 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 steals, and 3.7 blocks per game this season[2].

Devin Vassell, who recently returned to action after offseason foot surgery, is also out with left knee soreness. Vassell has played in only four games this season and has missed the last two games along with Wembanyama[1].

Additionally, center Zach Collins is listed as questionable with left knee tendinitis, further thinning the Spurs' frontcourt. Point guard Chris Paul is experiencing some discomfort in his left thumb after an injury during the Spurs' win against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night[1].

The Spurs, currently the 12th seed in the Western Conference with a 7-8 record, will need to rely on other players to fill the gaps left by these injuries. Their next game after the Jazz will be against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday[2].

Standing:
- San Antonio Spurs: 12th seed in the Western Conference with a 7-8 record
- Utah Jazz: 15th seed in the Western Conference with a 3-11 record
