Impact The rookie guard came one board short of his first career triple-double. Castle has looked good to close out his first NBA campaign and hasn't wilted under an increased workload and usage for the injury-plagued Spurs -- while starting the last 13 games, the fourth overall pick in the 2024 Draft has averaged 18.8 points, 5.9 assists, 5.8 boards, 1.4 threes and 1.2 combined steals and blocks in 30.0 minutes a contest.

Flirts with triple-double Wednesday Castle produced 15 points (6-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 15 rebounds and nine assists in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 113-106 win over Denver.

Impact The rookie guard was the Spurs' leading rebounder Wednesday, also coming a lone assist shy of a triple-double. Castle has been very productive as the focal point of San Antonio's offense in the absences of Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) and De'Aaron Fox (finger), having averaged 18.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 29.6 minutes across his last 12 games.

Logs team high in boards Tuesday Castle posted 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 116-105 loss to the Magic.

Impact Castle led the Spurs with a team-high eight rebounds Tuesday, marking just his sixth outing on the season with at least eight boards. The rookie first-round pick also finished with the club's third-highest point total, logging at least 15 points for the 10th time over his last 11 appearances. The 20-year-old should continue to see plenty of opportunity on a non-contending Spurs team that is without its two best players in Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) and De'Aaron Fox (finger).

Poor shooting effort Sunday Castle had nine points (3-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes during Sunday's 148-106 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Castle struggled badly from the floor and stumbled into a wall in this matchup, which could've easily been expected given how good he'd been playing in recent weeks. Prior to this blowout loss, Castle had scored at least 15 points in each of his previous nine starts, so in a way, some regression was expected as opposing teams start to plan how to stop him. One bad game won't remove everything Castle has accomplished as a rookie, though. He's averaging 19.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game since moving to a starting role in mid-March following the season-ending injury of De'Aaron Fox (finger).

Hits for 22 in Saturday's loss Castle registered 22 points (7-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 121-111 loss to Boston.

Impact The rookie led the Spurs' starting five in scoring, as Castle continues to step up in the absence of the team's two biggest stars, Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) and De'Aaron Fox (finger). Castle has started nine straight games and scored at least 15 points each time, averaging 20.3 points, 5.4 assists, 4.4 boards, 1.4 threes and 1.1 steals as he positions himself for what should be a prominent role in the rotation in 2025-26.

Sniffs triple-double Castle amassed 22 points (9-23 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-6 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Thursday's 124-116 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Castle continues to justify this selection as one of the top picks in the 2024 NBA Draft, and there's a strong argument to say he's been the best first-year player in The Association this season, even ahead of Alex Sarr and Zaccharie Risacher. Castle has started in the Spurs' last eight games following the news that De'Aaron Fox (finger) won't return this season and has been thriving, averaging 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game in that span.
