What if Devin Vassell saw Jeremy Sochan in the infirmary? While the Polish interior will miss several weeks due to his injury and his thumb operation, the American guard is about to return to the courts, announces ESPN.
The return of the 11th choice of the 2020 Draft could even fall this weekend, and more precisely on Saturday for the Jazz reception. Having undergone foot surgery during the summer, the player Spurs would strengthen a Texan team which has alternated between good and bad since the restart, while Gregg Popovich is also on the sidelines.
Started alongside Chris Paul
Main lieutenant of Victor Wembanyama last season, Devin Vassell remains in the best season of his career with 19.5 points, 4.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 interceptions on average (at 47% shooting, 37% at 3-points and 80% free throws).
Aged 24, and extended at a high price ($135 million!) until 2029 by the San Antonio franchise, he will find a starting place alongside Chris Paul, as soon as he is authorized to play again.
