Devin Vassell Cleared for Sunday Return After 13-Game Absence

Devin Vassell (adductor) is officially cleared and available for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, marking his return from a 13-game absence due to a left adductor strain. He informed reporters earlier Saturday that he anticipated being available. This will be his first game action since December 29, and his minutes are expected to be monitored. The 25-year-old guard has averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists across 31.9 minutes per game this season. His return will impact minutes for Julian Champagnie and Carter Bryant.
