Stephon Castle’s Unexpected Injury Sidelines Spurs Star, Raising Alarms Ahead of Crucial Games
Castle has averaged 17.3 points and 7.5 assists per game in 13 contests this season, his second in the league after the Spurs selected him with the No. 4 overall draft pick out of UConn. He averaged 14.7 points and 4.1 assists per game last season while earning Rookie of the Year honors.
The Spurs are also without star Victor Wembanyama, who is dealing with a left calf strain. He is expected to miss “a few weeks,” too. Wembanyama has averaged 26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game this season. Both he and Castle each produced a 20-point triple-double in a loss to the Golden State Warriors earlier this month in a rare outing for a duo on the same team.
