Stephon Castle News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs

Option picked up by Spurs The Spurs exercised the team option on Castle for the 2027-28 season Saturday, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Impact In an unsurprising move, San Antonio picked up Castle's team option for the 2027-28 season. After that time, he will be a restricted free agent. However, there's a good chance both sides will agree on an extension before it gets to that point, though it can't happen until next offseason. The 2024 No. 4 overall pick has appeared in 149 regular-season games for the Spurs since entering the NBA, averaging 15.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.0 steals over 28.2 minutes per contest. Castle's three-point shooting needs some work, but he makes up for it with all-around contributions on both sides of the ball.

Lives at charity stripe in preseason win Castle recorded 18 points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 14-15 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 123-103 preseason win over the Suns.

Impact Castle was aggressive on offense and was rewarded at the charity stripe, with eight of his 14 made free throws taking place in the second quarter. The third-year guard was a key piece to the Spurs' run to the NBA Finals last season, and while he's cemented as a backcourt starter, it remains to be seen whether he'll be joined by Dylan Harper or De'Aaron Fox. The Spurs wrap up their preseason schedule Friday against the Kings.

Resting Monday against Jazz Castle (rest) will not play in Monday's preseason matchup against Utah, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact The Spurs planned to rest several regulars for Monday's contest before the preseason began, so Castle's absence is not believed to be injury-related. Victor Wembanyama, De'Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper and Devin Vassell are also among the players sitting out. Castle's next opportunity to suit up will come Wednesday against the Suns.

Strong outing in preseason loss Castle registered 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Saturday's 102-98 preseason loss to the Suns.

Impact The 21-year-old guard turned in a respectable performance from the field and tied Victor Wembanyama for second on the Spurs in scoring. Castle delivered a productive all-around performance, as he finished second on the team in assists and was one of three Spurs players to grab at least seven rebounds. He's scored in double figures in both of San Antonio's preseason games while shooting 10-for-18 from the field.

Scores 14 points in preseason opener Castle finished with 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block across 18 minutes in Thursday's 123-116 preseason loss to the Hawks.

Impact Castle delivered an efficient offensive performance, connecting on five of eight field-goal attempts while contributing across multiple statistical categories. With De'Aaron Fox sidelined by soreness, Castle shared the backcourt with Dylan Harper, offering an early glimpse of San Antonio's potential guard combinations. Castle is cemented as the starting shooting guard ahead of the regular-season opener against the Thunder on Oct. 20, so fantasy managers shouldn't read much into his lack of minutes in the preseason.
