Dealing with another minor injury Coach Mike White said that Castleton suffered another nagging type of injury in Saturday's game against Ole Miss, Edgar Thompson of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Coach White said that he still expects Castleton to be able to go on Wednesday against Georgia, but he hasn't been able to do much in practice this week. Castleton was a game-time decision for last Saturday's game with a shoulder injury. Whatever this new injury is it sounds minor.

Starting Saturday Castleton (shoulder) will start Saturday's game against Ole Miss.

Impact Castleton was labeled a game-time decision for the contest leading up and will take the floor to open the contest. His presence in the starting lineup could mean he's in line for a decent workload, which should help a frontcourt that recently lost Jason Jitoboh (eye) for the remainder of the season.

Warming up Saturday Castleton (shoulder) is warming up but will be a game-time decision for the Gators as they take on Mississippi on Saturday, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Castleton, who has missed the last six games with a shoulder injury will be a game-time decision for the Gators. The 6-foot-11 senior has started 16 games this season, averaging 15.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.8 blocks on 28 minutes per game this season. Castleton's presence on the glass and impressive shot-blocking skills would be a huge return for the Gators.

FEBRUARY 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Making progress in recovery Castleton (shoulder) has progressed to doing more in practice and getting in on individual instruction sessions.

Impact It doesn't seem like Castleton is quite ready to return to action yet, though he hasn't officially been ruled out for the contest. Assuming he remains sidelined, the big man's next opportunity to rejoin the action would be Wednesday versus Georgia. Look for confirmation of his status to arrive prior to the opening tip.

FEBRUARY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Set to sit Wednesday Castleton (shoulder) is expected to remain unavailable for Wednesday's game against Missouri.

Impact Castleton remains on an indefinite timetable for his return to action and there haven't been any reports on his progress to date. With Jason Jitoboh (eye) also out for the season, Tuongthach Gatkeek has been relied on recently for a larger workload than usual.

Remains out Wednesday Castleton (shoulder) will remain sidelined for Wednesday's tilt versus Tennessee.

Impact Castleton is on an indefinite timetable for his return to action from a right shoulder injury. His missing out Wednesday marks his fourth consecutive absence with no word on how close he is to a return to the floor. The senior's next chance to suit up arrives Saturday at Oklahoma State. Meanwhile, Jason Jitoboh should continue to fill in as a starter.

Remains out Monday Castleton (shoulder) will not be available for Monday's game against Ole Miss, Graham Hall of The Gainesville Sun reports.

Impact Castleton is still sideline indefinitely due to a shoulder injury. The Gators will need to find other players to step up in the frontcourt while their big man is on the shelf. Florida also plays on Wednesday against Tennessee.

Florida shuts down Vanderbilt in second half, wins 61-42

Sidelined indefinitely Castleton (shoulder) will be sidelined indefinitely.

Impact Castleton's extended absence is a major blow to a Gators rotation that relies on his presence as the anchor down low. With the senior big man slated for multiple games on the sidelines, Jason Jitoboh and Tuongthach Gatkek are both candidates to see some additional playing time, while Anthony Duruji could also see some extra minutes when the Gators go with a small lineup.

Won't play Wednesday Castleton will miss Wednesday's game against Mississippi State after aggravating a left shoulder injury during practice Tuesday that has been nagging him the last couple of weeks.

Impact Castleton is the anchor down low for the Gators, entering the night averaging 15.4 points and 9.1 rebounds over 28.0 minutes, so his absence from the rotation will certainly be felt in what could be a tough matchup. Without Castleton available Jason Jitoboh may see some extra minutes to give the Gators some length after he posted six points and four boards over 12 minutes Saturday against South Carolina.

JANUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Near double-double Wednesday Castleton chipped in 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 64-58 loss to LSU.

The senior currently leads the Gators in many statistical categories including points, rebounds and blocks with 15.8, 9.2 and 2.4, respectively.

Career day Wednesday Castleton amassed 26 points (9-17 FG, 8-11 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 85-55 victory over North Florida.

Impact Castleton and the rest of the Gators were not at their best Monday when they fell by 15 points to a winless Texas Southern squad, but the team was able to get back on track here. Scoring nearly a point per minute, Castleton individually had one of his best fantasy days of the season while setting a new career-high scoring total. The 6-11 transfer from Michigan continues to have a career year with the Gators while serving as the epitome of stability for fantasy players. He's started and logged double-digit scoring in all nine games, plus has logged four double-doubles and is averaging an impressive 2.8 blocks per contest.

Double-double in Sunday's win Castleton produced 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-6 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, six blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 71-55 win over Florida State.

Impact Castleton was magnificent during the upset victory Sunday, as the forward logged his first double-double of the season while leading the Gators on the glass and tying a team best offensively. Castleton also swatted away six shots for a second straight outing. Across the first two games this year, Castleton is averaging 16.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per contest.

NOVEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ties team high with 18 points Castleton mustered 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-10 FT), six blocks, five rebounds, four assists and one steal during Tuesday's win over Elon.

Impact Castleton fared well in the Gators' season opener, as the forward tied a team high offensively while leading the team by a wide margin in blocks. However, the forward finished with a miserable performance at the charity stripe. The senior converted 78.1 percent at the line last year, so Tuesday's outing is likely just an outlier though.
