Rookie guard <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/nba\/san-antonio-spurs\/spurs-news-stephon-castle-positive-update-leaving-lakers-game-pelvic-injury\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stephon Castle, who gave fans a scare<\/a> with a nasty fall during Tuesday\u2019s blowout win over the Los Angeles Lakers, has been <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BrettSiegelNBA\/status\/2021765941978169716?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">upgraded to available<\/a> despite a pelvic contusion.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"1\">The update, first reported by NBA Insider Brett Siegel, is massive for a surging Spurs squad looking to extend its five-game winning streak. Castle had a quiet scoring night against <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/nba\/san-antonio-spurs\/spurs-news-stephon-castle-leaves-lakers-game-scary-fall\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Lakers before the injury<\/a>, finishing with just two points in 12 minutes, but his playmaking remained sharp as he racked up seven assists and a block before heading to the locker room.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">San Antonio enters the matchup as a strong favorite against a depleted Golden State roster. The Warriors are missing significant firepower, with Stephen Curry (foot), Jimmy Butler (ACL), and Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) all sidelined.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">Without their primary stars, the Warriors will have their hands full <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/nba\/san-antonio-spurs\/spurs-news-victor-wembanyama-top-5-take-jj-redick-lakers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">trying to contain Victor Wembanyama<\/a>, who is fresh off a dominant 40-point, 12-rebound performance against Los Angeles, where he scored 37 points in the first half alone.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">For the Spurs, having Castle in the lineup maintains their defensive edge and backcourt depth. The former UConn star has been a revelation, <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/nba\/san-antonio-spurs\/spurs-stephon-castle-living-dream-historic-40-point-triple-double\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recently recording a 40-point triple-double<\/a> against the Dallas Mavericks. His ability to facilitate the offense alongside De&#8217;Aaron Fox\u2014who is averaging 19.3 points per night\u2014has turned San Antonio into a legitimate Western Conference juggernaut.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">With the Spurs sitting at 37-16 and holding the second seed in the West, tonight\u2019s game provides a chance to gain ground on the Oklahoma City Thunder for the top spot. Meanwhile, the 29-25 Warriors are fighting to stay in the playoff picture while weathering a brutal storm of injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Antonio Spurs received a major boost ahead of their Wednesday night clash with the Golden State&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":598215,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3797],"tags":[7,6,14502,969,474,4075,4074,534,930],"class_list":{"0":"post-598214","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio-spurs","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-nba","10":"tag-nba-injury","11":"tag-san-antonio","12":"tag-san-antonio-spurs","13":"tag-sanantonio","14":"tag-sanantoniospurs","15":"tag-spurs","16":"tag-stephon-castle"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116055944991512632","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=598214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598214\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/598215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=598214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=598214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=598214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
