San Antonio Spurs News

San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game in Detroit. The rookie has only missed one game this season. Yet, with the Spurs likely to have a tough time making the Play-In, the team may take the cautious approach by keeping him off the floor. Castle has played well throughout his inaugural campaign, averaging 14.0 points, 3.6 assists, and 1.0 steals. But if he can't suit up, it should mean more scoring chances for Devin Vassell, Harrison Barnes, and Chris Paul.

San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle will be entered into the starting lineup on Friday against the Charlotte Hornets. This was an expected move after star guard De'Aaron Fox (finger) was ruled out for the remainder of the season. Castle has been used as a starter in the past, but he has been coming off the bench exclusively for the last five weeks. In his previous 29 starts, Castle has notched 15.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 4.2 assists. The 20-year-old rookie looks set for a strong finish to the season and should be scooped up by fantasy managers if he's still available.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox (finger) will miss the rest of the 2024-25 campaign. Fox, who was traded from Sacramento ahead of the deadline, has been playing through tendon damage in his left pinkie. However, with the Spurs having virtually no hope of making the Play-In, the move was made for Fox to have surgery. It's unknown when he'll be cleared to return to basketball activities. But Fox, averaging 19.7 points, 6.8 assists, and 1.5 steals in 17 games in San Antonio, will remain a top fantasy option heading into next season, assuming he won't miss time. In the meantime, Stephon Castle should see a surge in production without Fox on the floor.

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (wrist) has been given the green light to play in Wednesday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. Initially, Vassell was listed as questionable on the injury report for the game. It's been an up-and-down year for Vassell in 2024-25, but he is currently enjoying his best stretch of the season. Over his last six appearances, Vassell has averaged 19.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.0 steals. He notched 24 points in 34 minutes when the Spurs lost to Dallas on Monday night.

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Jeremy Sochan (calf) will play against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. The 21-year-old is back in the fold after missing the previous game due to a minor calf injury. Sochan has taken a step back in 2024-25, and his numbers have dipped further since the All-Star break. In his last 10 appearances, Sochan has averaged 9.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. He has not reached double digits in points for three straight outings.

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (wrist) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It appears Vassell picked up a right wrist contusion during Monday's contest against the Mavs. The Spurs could be shorthanded for this game with Jeremy Sochan (calf) listed as questionable as well. Keldon Johnson is coming off a 28-point outing and is looking like an excellent streaming option for Wednesday. Julian Champagnie and Stephon Castle could be looking at extended run as well.

San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Sochan is in danger of missing his second straight game due to a left calf contusion. The Spurs are likely going to use a committee approach to fill the void, assuming Sochan is unable to play. Keldon Johnson scored 28 points in 28 minutes on Monday, so he's looking like an interesting streaming option if Sochan misses another game. Fantasy managers will need to check back before tip-off for another update.

San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox (finger) may undergo surgery within the next few weeks. The former Sacramento King has been battling a left pinkie injury. Although surgery has always been on the radar, it may come sooner than expected, with Fox planning to visit a specialist in Los Angeles on March 17 when the Spurs visit the Lakers. If a procedure is recommended, it may occur that same day. The Spurs already are without Victor Wembanyama (illness) for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign, and with the team unlikely to secure a Play-In spot, Fox may opt for surgery now and be ready to go come the start of next season. The 27-year-old hasn't been as productive since being traded from Sacramento, averaging 19.1 points, nearly six points fewer than he had with the Kings. But if Fox gets to spend time with his San Antonio teammates this summer, he should bounce back. With that in mind, if Fox sits out the remainder of the year, Devin Vassell, Keldon Johnson, and Stephon Castle will presumably each see a bump in scoring opportunities.

San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (thumb) is uncertain for Tuesday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. The rookie is nursing a left thumb sprain. Castle has recently taken his game to a new level, averaging 26.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists over the past three contests. If he doesn't play on Tuesday, Julian Champagnie and Malaki Branham could have a greater opportunity to make an impact. Champagnie is the better fantasy option, although he has been largely anonymous in recent times.

San Antonio Spurs center Charles Bassey (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bassey is now set to miss his fourth game in a row due to a bone bruise in his left knee. The 24-year-old figures to play a big role in the rotation once he's cleared to play again. For now, Bismack Biyombo, Jeremy Sochan, and Sandro Mamukelashvili should all see more playing time with the Spurs limited at the center spot. Sochan is the only player worth rostering out of the three players right now.

San Antonio Spurs center Charles Bassey (knee) will not suit up for Tuesday's tilt against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was injured in the same matchup on Sunday night and has been diagnosed with a bone bruise on his left knee. Bassey only recently returned from a right MCL sprain, so the 24-year-old has had horrible luck with injuries. With Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) sidelined, Bismack Biyombo is looking at a fourth consecutive start at center. The veteran has averaged 6.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.7 steals in the role. Due to the frontcourt injuries, Sandro Mamukelashvili also has a chance to see more time on the floor.

San Antonio Spurs center Bismack Biyombo will get the starting nod at the center spot during Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Spurs have a massive void to fill in their rotation following the loss of superstar big man Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) who has been ruled out for the rest of the season. Biyombo will move into the starting five on Thursday, but the Spurs will likely try out multiple players at the center spot. Sandro Mamukelashvili should also see more minutes, but neither player is looking like anything more than a deep league option. Honestly, Charles Bassey (knee) might be the best option out of the bunch once he's cleared to play again.

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) is reportedly expected to miss the rest of the season with a deep vein thrombosis, otherwise known as a blood clot, in his right shoulder. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Spurs believe this is an isolated incident. Normally, this is treated using blood thinners for a few months, then the medical team will likely investigate further to make sure the issue has cleared. Through 46 games, Wembanyama averaged 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 3.8 blocks, and 1.1 steals per game. The Spurs will likely have to play a good bit of small-ball, so Keldon Johnson and Jeremy Sochan should see an uptick in minutes while the other two centers on the depth chart are Sandro Mamukelashvili and Bismack Biyombo.

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (illness) is considered doubtful for Thursday's clash against the Phoenix Suns. After appearing in his first All-Star Game, Wembanyama has landed on the injury report with an illness bug. If he doesn't recover in time for Thursday's game, the Spurs will be without Wembanyama for the seventh time this season. His most recent absence occurred on Feb. 1 against the Miami Heat. Charles Bassey (knee) took his place in the starting lineup for that game, but he has since been sidelined with an MCL sprain. Wembanyama's absence on Thursday may allow Jeremy Sochan to return to the starting unit, while Sandro Mamukelashvili and Bismack Biyombo are also potential options to take on a heavier workload.

San Antonio Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox is set to make his team debut against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. Fox was acquired by the Spurs in part of a three-team trade on Monday. The addition of Fox almost certainly means that Chris Paul will move to the bench. It seems likely that the Spurs would want to pair rookie Stephon Castle with Fox in the backcourt. Fox was one of the best point guards in the league while playing in Sacramento. That should continue to be the case in San Antonio, so fantasy managers better make sure to get Fox active in their lineups.

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (illness) has been cleared to return to action on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. An illness kept Wembanyama out from Saturday's matchup against the Miami Heat, but he is ready to return on Monday after receiving an upgrade from questionable to available. Wembanyama is on a seven-game double-double streak and has exploded for a pair of 30-point games lately. However, with former Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr. in their lineup, the Grizzlies have limited the French star to 16.0 points on 34.2 percent shooting this season.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Spurs, Bulls, and Kings completed a three-team deal, resulting in guard De'Aaron Fox (and guard Jordan McLaughlin) heading to San Antonio. Also included in the trade; guard Kevin Huerter, forward/center Zach Collins, and guard Tre Jones will move to Chicago while the Kings will add guard Zach LaVine and guard Sidy Cissoko to the roster. The 2017 No. 5 overall pick has spent his entire career in Sacramento, averaging 21.5 points, 6.1 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 514 regular-season games. Reports regarding Fox's desire to head to the Spurs intensified over the last few weeks. But he'll get his wish and will now be paired with up-and-coming center Victor Wembanyama and future Hall of Fame guard Chris Paul. Fox should continue to get his minutes, and it's likely a change of scenery will give him added motivation to be even more productive moving forward. With that in mind, having Fox on the roster should mean less work for Stephon Castle, although the rookie could benefit in the years ahead now that he's playing alongside and learning from another All-Star.

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He dropped out of the lineup on Saturday against the Miami Heat due to an illness and may be forced to miss a second consecutive game. Charles Bassey started in Wembanyama's place and produced a decent showing. He gobbled up 15 rebounds while notching nine points with one block in 27 minutes. At the same time, Devin Vassell played a larger role offensively, taking 22 shots, while his season average is 14 shot attempts per game.

San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (back) will be able to suit up after missing five straight contests due to a lumbar spine bone bruise. He will return for the Spurs in their Thursday afternoon matchup in Paris against the Indiana Pacers, and he could jump right back into the starting five or come off the bench. Either way, he will likely play limited minutes after such an extended layoff. In his 22 games this season, the 21-year-old is averaging 13.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.6 assists while playing 28.6 minutes per game. His return will likely eventually cut into the playing time of Stephon Castle, Keldon Johnson, and Julian Champagnie.

San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (back) is questionable for Thursday's meeting with the Pacers in France. He's missed the last five games. Initially, it was reported that the 21-year-old was bothered by back tightness. However, it was recently revealed he's dealing with a bone bruise in his spine. Sochan has played better than ever this season, averaging a career-high 13.4 points and 8.0 rebounds. His shooting from behind the arc needs to improve to increase his value for category managers. Still, Sochan will likely be found in most fantasy lineups if he's cleared to play. But if he isn't, Stephon Castle, averaging 14.9 points and 4.1 assists in 23 starts during the 2024-25 campaign, will presumably continue to fill the void in the rotation.
