HUGE BLOW FOR SPURS: SPUR Head Coach Gregg Popovich and Victor Wembanyama Tearsfully lament Over Seaon Ending Injury Of Teammate and Spurs Most Experienced Star

The San Antonio Spurs are certain that they have found their point guard of the future to combine with Victor Wembanyama. This comes in the shape of No. 4 overall pick Stephon Castle, who is projected to be a powerhouse in the league in the near future.

However, the Spurs will have to wait a little longer as the 19-year-old’s preseason campaign was cut short due to an unlucky injury.

Spurs insider Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News revealed on Sunday that the organization had chosen to remove Castle for the rest of the NBA Summer League. This comes after the 6-foot-6 point guard suffered a wrist injury during their previous game:

“Castle will miss the rest of Summer League after suffering a right wrist strain in Saturday’s win over Portland, according to the Spurs. “It’s a minor injury, but the Spurs won’t take any chances with the fourth overall pick,” Osborn wrote.

This is a shame, given Castle’s performance in the summer league. On Saturday, against the Blazers, the former UConn star scored 22 points on 8-of-21 shooting, adding five rebounds, four assists, a steal, and two triples to help San Antonio win 83-77.

According to the report, the injury is minimal, therefore there is no reason for fear. The Spurs are simply exercising caution with their star guard, as they should.
