Might as well get it done now and rest up for next season. Good for the tank. Hope it's nothing too serious going forward

now
Devin Vassell is scheduled to undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee on Jan. 11 in New York, a league source said.Spurs hope the procedure will help his chronically sore knee heal, which has forced him to miss several games, including Wednesday's loss to the NYK.

Never like to see chronic knee pain in a player that young. Hopefully this procedure cleans up whatever it is that’s ailing him.
They better nurse him back to the court. He showed out this year already and earned his extension. Great news for the tank.
Bbb he wasn't playing because they are tanking
Hopefully this aint another Nephew-esque chronic leg issue.
It'd be nice to see Bran take advantage of Vassell's absence.
Can the spurs apply for a disabled player exception if this lasts till the end of the season or this or does this not qualify ?
lord knows we could use the cap space this season
Shut him down and pay the kid in the summer tbh
Typical. Wouldn't be a promising, young Spur without durability issues.
Wonder if the timing of the trade and this news was to free up a roster spot for a guard, though either way I expect Bassey to eventually get promoted to a standard contract.
Hopefully a long losing streak incoming
Would practically be a guarantee if we got rid of the three vets (Poeltl, Richardson, McDermott) and promoted half the starters from Austin, at this point too. Would be a pretty easy way to get that top 3 spot and a 14% shot at Wembanyama (or Scoot).
yea spurs have options to throw in the towel
This is very disturbing. Usually, guys in their 30's get their knees scoped but Devin having to do it at a young age is not a good sign. It doesn't affect the Spurs this season but going forward long term it does when it comes to considering Devin to be part of the future core of the team.
Should be a non issue after the clean up. If it continues then worry
Timmy had it done after his 3rd season. There is no timetable or age for meniscus damage.
Super Fabbs had a meniscus issue in 2004 and went on to win 6 Championships.
Lot of swimming for zero impact building.
The tank continues strong. Hope this is a one off though bc knee injuries are no joke
Two bright spots this whole season and he was one of them. Only tuning in for Sochan now
you know they have to try and sell tickets, the comish is on record wanting to crack down on that type of tank . and itll screw with player development which we sorely need across the board. It's not like our vets are great or our FRP's are good. Nearly any NBA talent team is going to win 25 or 30 percent of games just by getting hot and taking advantage of back to backs. Your basically paying a high price to guarantee the 14%.
Yes you are paying a high price. And if Orlando gets Wembanyama after getting Banchero, their price will be worth several rings. The juice is worth the squeeze. And if not Wembanyama, perhaps your starting PG for the next decade. Throw in some good draft picks with all those we have, some player development, and 1 or 2 good free agent signings and we cod also ring multiple times.
Them that 14% will be worth every single L and list ticket today for the W and rings later.
Just my 0.02
Heal up and get ready for next season, Devo.
What a bummer. Spurs luck really needs to turn. We lost our Lottery pick from two years ago because he was a perv, now we lose our lottery pick from three years ago…
Well at least Devin didn't also turn out to have been involved in that nonsense like Primo. Recall there was a thought by someone here he was because he was sitting out that entire time when he was supposedly day to day.
But yeah, this organization has been snakebitten af since that nephew all over it.
Then the bad look of every single pop coaching tree member doing spectacular ...except Brett Brown coming back to run the process on the Spurs. And Ime turning into an embarrassment. But Jacque Vaughn. Coach Hardy. Coach Bud of course.
It's almost like we've been cursed by some neph and uncle voodoo because we traded him to the great white north and he immediately rings with historically unparalleled injuries hitting the teams he faced enroute.
Makes me think we won't get Wembanyama or Scoot quite frankly. Need some PTSD counseling. Little jumpy about this whole upcoming draft. Need a voodoo doctor to go through the building and PATFO offices to do a cleansing ritual.
