The San Antonio Spurs’ No. 1 overall selection Victor Wembanyama, along with guards Devin Vassell and Tre Jones, will not play in Monday night’s preseason game at home versus the Houston Rockets, the team said.
Miami Heat forward Jamal Cain is blocked by San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama during the first half of a preseason NBA basketball game in San Antonio, Friday, Oct. 13, 2023. – The San Antonio Spurs’ No. 1 overall selection Victor Wembanyama, along with guards Devin Vassell and Tre Jones, will not play in Monday night’s preseason game at home versus the Houston Rockets, the team said Sunday.
The 7-foot-4 inch big man has averaged 21.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2 blocks per game in his first two preseason games and has already routinely put up highlights in just 21 minutes per game. Vassell last Friday scored 21 points in 22 minutes versus the Miami Heat, as he works himself back from last year’s knee injury.
Jones had eight points and five assists in 19 minutes in that preseason game. He also scored 12 points with six assists in the preseason opener versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Spurs, following Monday night’s matchup, will host intra-state rival Houston again on Wednesday night. It’s unclear if any of the three will play in that tune-up game.
