The San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell is being considered day-to-day as he struggles with a groin injury. After experiencing groin tightness during his team’s 121-132 win over the Phoenix Suns, Vassell underwent an MRI which showed that he suffered a left adductor strain.

While being monitored on a daily basis, it appears as if Vassell is unlikely to play in the Spurs’ game against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday afternoon, especially after coach Gregg Popovich admitted that he expected the guard to be out for longer than it now appears. “The groin is one of those things where it can take a while,” Popovich explained.

Averaging 19.4 points and shooting 40.7% from deep, Vassell has proven to be a reliable option for the Spurs this season. He was replaced in the win against the Suns’ by Malaki Branham, whom veteran forward Doug McDermott said was “brilliant”.

San Antonio Spurs announced that their rookie guard Lonnie Walker was diagnosed with a right medial meniscus tear and will have to undergo a surgery in the coming days. Walker, who was taken 18th overall in 2018 NBA Draft, suffered the injury in the 117-93 win over Detroit Pistons on Friday.

Although the Spurs declined to give a timeline on Walker’s return, according to ESPN‘s sources, the 19-year-old will be out for six to eight weeks.

Lonnie Walker spent five minutes on the court against the Pistons, contributing with six points and one assist. He also had one turnover.

Walker’s injury, unfortunately, wasn’t the end of Spurs’ troubles. In Sunday’s game against Houston Rockets, their starting point guard Dejounte Murray was also injured and might be facing with a longer recovery period. The full extent of Murray’s injury will be revealed after an MRI on Monday.

“He’s our starting PG, and he’s worked hard over the summer to get better, and I think it was showing,” – said Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge after the game. “You just feel for him because he’s worked so hard to be ready for this season.”

If Dejounte Murray’s injury turns out to be more serious one, that will be a big blow for San Antonio Spurs who hoped that the 22-year-old could make a step forward this season and continue his development. Murray took over as Spurs’ starting point guard halfway through the 2017-18 season in which he averaged 8.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game.
