Let go by Raptors The Raptors have waived Castleton, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Castleton played a fairly significant role down the stretch of the 2024-25 season for the Raptors, averaging 7.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 26.2 minutes per game over 11 outings with Toronto, but the team has decided to go in a different direction ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. With Castleton now out the mix, Collin Murray-Boyles, Jonathan Mogbo and Sandro Mamukelashvili are set to battle for frontcourt minutes off the bench.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Meaningful minutes to close season Castleton chipped in 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 FT) and two rebounds over 29 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 125-118 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Castleton started four of his final 12 games of the regular season, averaging 7.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 22.5 minutes to wrap up the campaign. He signed a standard contract this past weekend after two 10-day deals had expired, and Castleton could be in line for an uptick in playing time as a frontcourt reserve member next season, considering Chris Boucher is headed for unrestricted free agency.

Returning to Toronto Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reported after the 76ers' 124-110 loss to the Hawks that Castleton is set to sign a standard contract with the Raptors.

Impact Castleton joined the 76ers on a 10-day contract April 3 after his second 10-day contract with the Raptors expired March 25. He played in Friday's loss to the Hawks and finished with 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and one steal over 25 minutes, but he'll return to Toronto on a standard contract. Across 10 games (four starts) with the Raptors, Castleton averaged 6.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 blocks over 25.9 minutes per game.

Grabs 14 rebounds in win Castleton totaled two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 victory over Washington.

Impact Castleton dominated the boards in Wednesday's victory over Washington, leading all players with 14 rebounds, which tied his career high. The 24-year-old signed a 10-day contract on April 3 and has served as the backup center to Adem Bona. In his four games with Philadelphia, Castleton is averaging 3.5 points and 7.3 rebounds in 18.0 minutes per game.

Getting opportunity in Philadelphia Castleton is expected to sign a 10-day contract with the 76ers prior to their game Thursday versus the Bucks, NBA reporter Jake Fischer reports.

Impact Castleton will fill the roster spot vacated by forward Marcus Bagley, who isn't expected to be retained after his 10-day contract expired Thursday. The 24-year-old Castleton had most recently been playing for the G League's Osceola Magic, but he's had stints in the NBA this season with the Grizzlies and Raptors. Over his 20 appearances (four starts) between those two teams, the 6-foot-10 center has averaged 4.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 15.3 minutes per contest. Castleton could enter the rotation right away for a banged-up 76ers squad and serve as Adem Bona's primary backup Thursday.

Time in Toronto likely over Castleton's second 10-day contract with the Raptors expired Tuesday, and Toronto isn't expected to re-sign him prior to Wednesday's game in Brooklyn, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca...

Impact Castleton saw extensive action with Toronto over the course of his pair of 10-day deals, appearing in each of the last 10 contests while averaging 6.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 blocks in 25.8 minutes per contest. Though the Raptors have the option of signing Castleton to a rest-of-season deal, the team prefers to use the 15th spot on the roster to cycle in a new player on a 10-day contact. Expect the Raptors to sign a new player prior to Wednesday, while Castleton will presumably head back to the G League and join the Osceola Magic, with whom he had been playing before signing his first 10-day deal with Toronto.

Back to bench Monday Castleton is not in Toronto's starting lineup against Washington on Monday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Castleton will come off the bench Monday due to the return of Jakob Poeltl, who rested during Sunday's loss to San Antonio.

Inks second 10-day pact The Raptors signed Castleton to a 10-day contract Sunday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Castleton signed his final 10-day contract with Toronto. The big man has made five consecutive appearances (two starts) for the Raptors since signing his first 10-day contract, during which he has averaged 7.0 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 blocks across 28.0 minutes per contest.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Makes second straight start Castleton started and finished with 13 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes in Friday's 126-118 win over the Jazz.

Impact After starting at power forward in Wednesday's win over the 76ers in place of Scottie Barnes, Castleton remained on the top unit as the Raptors' center due to Jakob Poeltl (rest) sitting out. Poeltl could be back in action for the Raptors' next game Sunday in Portland, but with Toronto likely to hold out multiple rotation players for rest purposes or minor injuries in nearly every game for the rest of the season, Castleton could have an opportunity to retain steady minutes. His 10-day contract with the Raptors will expire Saturday, but expect Castleton to be re-signed ahead of Sunday's contest. Castleton is averaging 7.0 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 28.0 minutes per contest while shooting 55.6 percent from the field over his first five appearances with Toronto.
