Spurs' Charles Bassey: Ruled out for Tuesday
Rotowire
Bassey (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against New Orleans, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Bassey will miss Tuesday's contest after exiting Sunday's loss to the Pelicans due to a left knee injury that has now been diagnosed as a bone bruise on his left knee. The club will be extremely thin at center with Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) also on the shelf, meaning Bismack Biyombo and Sandro Mamukelashvili are candidates for an increased role.

Spurs' Charles Bassey: Receives 11 minutes in return
Rotowire
Bassey (knee) registered six points (3-3 FG), two rebounds and two assists across 11 minutes off the bench in Friday's 125-110 loss to the Pistons.
Bassey made his return after missing the Spurs' previous six games due to an MCL sprain in his left knee, joining a new-look San Antonio frontcourt that recently lost Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) for the remainder of the season. Rather than relying on a direct replacement for Wembanyama, the Spurs have thus far turned to a cadre of players to fill the minutes at center over the past two games, with Bassey, Bismack Biyombo, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jeremy Sochan all factoring into the equation. On the rare occasions he's gotten extended minutes in the past in the NBA, Bassey has shown the ability to put up fantasy-friendly numbers, so his playing time and production will be worthy of monitoring over the next few games. A consistent 20-minute-per-game role could be enough to make Bassey an appealing option in 12-team leagues for fantasy managers in need of help in the field-goal percentage, rebounds and blocks categories.

Spurs' Charles Bassey: Suffers knee injury
Rotowire
Bassey won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Hawks due to a sprained left MCL.
Bassey suffered the injury during Monday's loss to the Grizzlies, per Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News. With the 24-year-old big man sidelined, Jeremy Sochan could be deployed as the primary backup to starting center Victor Wembanyama. While Bassey's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Charlotte, it wouldn't be surprising for him to miss extended time, given his history of knee problems.

Spurs' Charles Bassey: Slides back to bench Monday
Rotowire
Bassey is coming off the bench in Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
With Victor Wembanyama overcoming an illness Monday, Bassey will slide back to San Antonio's bench following Saturday's spot start. Across 30 contests from the Spurs' second unit this year, Bassey has averaged 4.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 10.4 minutes, so he'll likely be hard-pressed for fantasy value against Memphis.

Spurs' Charles Bassey: Solid in spot start Saturday
Rotowire
Bassey finished with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes during Saturday's 105-103 loss to Miami.
The big man recorded a game-high mark in rebounds while making his third career start due to Victor Wembanyama's (illness) absence. Bassey has been held out via coach's decision in three of the club's last five outings, so he will likely remain in an extremely limited role once Wembanyama can return. Until then, Bassey should be expected to pick up fairly significant minutes in the frontcourt, competing for playing time with Sandro Mamukelashvili and Zach Collins.

Spurs' Charles Bassey: Swats six shots Thursday
Rotowire
Bassey racked up 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, six blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Thursday's 126-118 victory over the Jazz.
Bassey was efficient as a scorer and aggressive on the glass, but there's no doubt that he made his biggest impact as a rim protector. The six blocks were a career-high mark for the big man, who might continue to enjoy extra minutes off the bench as long as Victor Wembanyama (knee) remains sidelined.

Spurs' Charles Bassey: Returning to San Antonio
Rotowire
The Spurs signed Bassey (knee) to a one-year, $2.2 million contract Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Bassey made just 19 appearances for the Spurs in 2023-24 before suffering a torn ACL. While he is expected to return in the first half of the 2024-25 campaign, Bassey will likely compete for depth minutes in San Antonio's frontcourt.
