32 points not enough in loss Castle ended Sunday's 146-132 loss to the Thunder with 32 points (12-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-7 FT), eight rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes.

Impact With 32 points, Castle finished one point shy of his career-best mark. He's been on a mini heater for the Spurs, averaging 26.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 31.5 minutes over his last three outings. The heavy usage for Castle could continue for the shorthanded Spurs, as well.

Shines off bench Saturday Castle totaled 24 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 130-128 victory over Memphis.

Impact Castle surpassed the 20-point mark for the second consecutive appearance, and the rookie continues to shine despite not being part of the first unit. He also bounced back from a couple of subpar performances, and he's been a reliable option off the bench for the most part. He's averaging 15.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game across 11 contests since moving to the bench in early February.

Drops team-high 22 off bench Castle ended with 22 points (9-22 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and three steals in 30 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 118-106 loss to Houston.

Impact The rookie wing tied Keldon Johnson for the team lead in scoring as no Spurs starter managed to score even in double digits. It was Castle's best offensive performance since he poured in 33 points against the Hornets on Feb. 7, and it was an impressive bounce-back effort after the UConn product managed only six points combined in the prior two contests. Over 10 games as part of the second unit, Castle is averaging 14.5 points, 3.8 boards, 2.2 assists, 1.5 steaks and 0.9 threes in 22.7 minutes a game.

Quiet in loss Castle totaled four points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and four rebounds over 12 minutes during Tuesday's 109-103 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Castle received fewer than 13 minutes of playing time for the first time since Dec. 29, failing to leave a positive impact off the bench. The rookie first-round pick has put together a fairly successful season thus far. However, he has struggled in his last two outings, during which he has accumulated only six points (2-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 34 total minutes.

Double-double in Thursday's win Castle recorded 10 points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and three steals over 26 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 120-109 win over the Suns.

Impact After a strong all-around showing during All-Star Weekend, Castle kept his momentum going by recording his first career double-double when the Spurs' schedule resumed. The fourth overall pick in the 2024 Draft lost his starting spot when De'Aaron Fox arrived from Sacramento, but Castle could be leaned on more heavily from the second unit with Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) out for the rest of the season, and his length in the backcourt could be very valuable as San Antonio shifts to more small-ball lineups. In six games off the bench, Castle has averaged 17.5 points, 4.0 boards, 2.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.2 threes in 25.0 minutes a contest.

Solid outing in All-Star Game Castle recorded six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 11 minutes during Sunday's 42-35 All-Star Game semifinal loss to Shaq's OGs.

Impact Castle put together a solid all-around performance in the Rising Stars' first-round loss, tying a game-high with two steals and adding six points. Castle has been slotted to a bench role after the acquisition of De'Aaron Fox, but he has still been a consistent contributor, averaging 19.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 24.8 minutes per contest over his last five appearances.
