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.
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 guard Stephon Castle (wrist) is done for the remainder of Summer League. The 2024 No. 4 overall pick suffered a sprained wrist during his Summer League debut on Saturday against Portland. Fortunately, the injury isn't considered serious. Castle amassed 22 points, five rebounds, and four assists in his only appearance this summer. While he will likely have some growing pains in his first season in the National Basketball Association, he has Rookie of the Year potential.
