Keldon Johnson In, Devin Vassell Out On Thursday
2 years agoSan Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (back) will play Thursday versus the Knicks, but guard/forward Devin Vassell (knee) is forced to sit out the contest. Both players were initially regarded as questionable for the game and Johnson has shaken off lower back stiffness to be available, but Vassell has a sore left knee and will miss his seventh game of the season. Johnson now looks set for a great outing, with him having averaged 25.6 points per game without Vassell in the lineup, a big boost from his usual 20.9-point production. Malaki Branham, Romeo Langford and Josh Richardson should also benefit from Vassell's absence.
