Devin Vassell led the San Antonio Spurs to a 127-113 win against the Brooklyn Nets last Tuesday, as he set a new career-high in points.
The 24-year-old swingman notched 37 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, four steals, and eight three-pointers on 14-for-20 shooting from the field. Vassell’s previous career high was 33 points against the Atlanta Hawks on November 30, 2023.
The San Antonio Spurs have won two of their last three games, improving to a 26-34 record – good for 13th in the Western Conference.
Up next for them is a road game against the Sacramento Kings this Friday.
San Antonio Spurs News: Devin Vassell opens up on his big scoring night vs. Brooklyn Nets
Devin Vassell had a rough stretch last month where he scored single-digit points in five out of seven games. However, the San Antonio Spurs guard never wavered in his confidence, and he is reaping the benefits of his belief in himself.
“It’s just a matter of time. Just got to stay confident. I think that’s the biggest thing. Whenever I start missing shots, I might get in my own head,” Vassell said via ClutchPoints’ Hector Ledesma.
“They definitely wanted me to get that and I wanted to get it personally myself. But I wasn’t going to force it neither. Once I didn’t make the last two, it’s like it’s alright as long as we win this game, I’m fine with that. And that’s what happened,” he added about his career night against Brooklyn.
