Is Devin Vassell playing tonight? Latest injury update for Spurs vs. Mavericks

Following the All-Star Break, the Spurs are looking forward to ending a 14-game losing streak. And what could be better than doing it against Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and the Dallas Mavericks?

Although there was hope San Antonio would have Devin Vassell back for this game, the latest report shows there is no specific date for the shooting guard to return. But as local reporter Matthew Tynan mentioned on Twitter, Vassell is ramping things up with 3-on-3 workouts, so fans can probably expect to see him on the court soon.
