The San Antonio Spurs will be without wing Devin Vassell indefinitely after he undergoes knee surgery next week. Vassell has been dealing with some knee soreness and will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee sometime next week. It is unclear when he will be able to return and will largely depend on when he is able to resume basketball activities without pain. The exact date for his surgery is currently set for January 11th and will be taking place in New York. Vassell was in the middle of a breakout season for the San Antonio Spurs.
