The San Antonio Spurs announced on Monday that two of their regular starters, guard Devin Vassell and forward Jeremy Sochan, will be out for the rest of the season due to injuries.
Vassell underwent an MRI on Monday, revealing a stress reaction in the third metatarsal head of his right foot. Sochan, on the other hand, requires arthroscopic surgery for a left ankle impingement.
Vassell has been averaging 19.5 points per game this season and has been with the Spurs for four seasons. Sochan, in his second season, has averaged 11.6 points.
Despite the standout performance of rookie Victor Wembanyama, who is leading the team, the Spurs find themselves at the bottom of the Western Conference with an 18-57 record. Vassell is the team’s second-highest scorer after Wembanyama and also leads in average minutes played with 33.1. The Spurs are scheduled to play against Denver on Tuesday night.
