Spurs Host Warriors With Fox, Vassell Questionable
San Antonio enters Friday's NBA Cup game 10-2 and on a 10-game winning streak, with two key guards listed questionable.
Updated on Nov. 13, 2026 in Basketball
The Spurs listed De'Aaron Fox as questionable with left hip soreness and Devin Vassell as questionable with left adductor tightness ahead of Friday's 8:30 p.m. home game against Golden State on Prime. Fox played 31 minutes and recorded 17 points, nine assists, four rebounds and three steals in Wednesday's 124-119 win at Chicago.
Why it matters
The Spurs, who are 10-2, could be without two rotation players in a home NBA Cup matchup against the 8-4 Warriors. Vassell has missed the last two games, and the availability of Fox will shape San Antonio's backcourt in a streak-defining contest.
Fox produced 17 points, nine assists, four rebounds and three steals in 31 minutes against Chicago, while the Spurs are 10-2 with ten straight wins. Vassell has missed the last two games, and his status for Friday remains undetermined.
The players
De'Aaron Fox
Fox is a veteran San Antonio Spurs point guard known for his speed and playmaking, and he is listed as questionable with left hip soreness.
Devin Vassell
Vassell is a Spurs wing who has been a regular rotation player, and he is listed as questionable with left adductor tightness after missing the last two games.
Stephen Curry
Curry is a longtime Golden State Warriors guard and a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, and he is sidelined with an oblique abdominal tear that is expected to keep him out at least two weeks.
The details
The Spurs were added to the injury report after Fox's 31-minute outing in a 124-119 come-from-behind win at Chicago, where they rallied from a 22-point second-quarter deficit. Vassell is listed with left adductor tightness, and Tobias Harris has not played this season after a left calf strain suffered early in training camp.
Timeline
Last Friday: Spurs defeated the Kings in Sacramento in NBA Cup group play.
Wednesday: Spurs beat Chicago 124-119 after a 22-point comeback.
Thursday: Warriors announced Stephen Curry's oblique abdominal tear.
Friday, 8:30 p.m. local time: Spurs host Golden State in NBA Cup group game on Prime.
Season Trajectory
The Spurs' 10-2 start and ten-game win streak put them in early contention in the Western Conference standings. Friday's matchup with the Warriors, who are without Curry, offers a chance to build on that momentum against a healthy roster question.
If Fox or Vassell is ruled out, the Spurs' rotation shifts toward other guards and wings for a home NBA Cup game. Fantasy managers should monitor final injury updates before lineups lock Friday evening.
The takeaway
Injury designations this close to tipoff are often resolved only in pregame warm-ups, so checking final status before kickoff is the most reliable approach. Fans and fantasy players should plan for both lineups.
What happens next
The Spurs host Golden State on Friday at 8:30 p.m. on Prime, when the availability of Fox and Vassell will be determined.
