Vassell Returns from Adductor Strain, Scores 13 Points

Devin Vassell (San Antonio Spurs) returned to action from a strained left adductor, playing 25 minutes and scoring 13 points in the Spurs' 104-95 loss to the Pelicans. He looked understandably rusty at times but hit some shots and was up to the challenge against a physical team, stating postgame, "You don't want to be a team that's looked at as being soft."
