SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs have announced that Sidy Cissoko and Devin Vassell have been assigned to the G League's Austin Spurs.
With Austin in San Antonio for training camp, this is an opportunity for Cissoko to get in some reps on the court as he has yet to play for San Antonio to start the new season.
For Vassell, the assignment is the latest sign of his impending return to the court. He's missed the start of the season as he continues to recover from offseason surgery to repair a stress fracture in his right foot.
Vassell will only practice with the Austin club and isn't expected to play for the team in its G League regular season. Vassell's target return date is Nov. 1, but it will be fluid depending on his recovery.
Watch the latest Locked On Spurs with Dr. Ryan McCorkle for an in-depth discussion on Vassell's injury.
