Wembanyama, 21, was sidelined for 12 games from Nov. 16-Dec. 10 due to a left calf strain. Upon his return, he spent six games coming off the bench on a minutes restriction before rejoining the starting lineup last weekend.
Vassell, 25, will miss his third game in a row with a left adductor strain.
