The Magic and Castleton agreed to a deal Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

The details of the contract are not entirely clear, though Castleton figures to compete for a two-way spot this fall. The 25-year-old big man flashed down the stretch of the 2024-25 campaign for the injury-plagued Raptors, averaging 7.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 26.2 minutes per game over 11 regular-season appearances. Castleton will try to find a spot on Orlando's bench behind Jonathan Isaac, Moritz Wagner and Goga Bitadze ahead of the new year.

The Raptors waived Castleton on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Castleton played a fairly significant role down the stretch of the 2024-25 season for the injury-riddled Raptors, averaging 7.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 26.2 minutes per game over 11 regular-season outings with Toronto. However, the team has decided to go in a different direction ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. With Castleton now out of the mix, Collin Murray-Boyles, Jonathan Mogbo and Sandro Mamukelashvili are set to battle for frontcourt minutes off the bench.

Castleton chipped in 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 FT) and two rebounds over 29 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 125-118 loss to the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Castleton started four of his final 12 games of the regular season, averaging 7.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 22.5 minutes to wrap up the campaign. He signed a standard contract this past weekend after two 10-day deals had expired, and Castleton could be in line for an uptick in playing time as a frontcourt reserve member next season, considering Chris Boucher is headed for unrestricted free agency.

Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reported after the 76ers' 124-110 loss to the Hawks that Castleton is set to sign a standard contract with the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Castleton joined the 76ers on a 10-day contract April 3 after his second 10-day contract with the Raptors expired March 25. He played in Friday's loss to Atlanta and finished with 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and one steal over 25 minutes, but he'll return to Toronto on a standard contract. Across 10 games (four starts) with the Raptors, Castleton averaged 6.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 blocks over 25.9 minutes per game.

Castleton totaled two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 14 rebounds, two assists and one block over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 victory over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Castleton dominated the boards in Wednesday's victory over Washington, leading all players with 14 rebounds, which tied his career high. The 24-year-old signed a 10-day contract on April 3 and has served as the backup center to Adem Bona. In his four games with Philadelphia, Castleton is averaging 3.5 points and 7.3 rebounds in 18.0 minutes per game.

Castleton is expected to sign a 10-day contract with the 76ers prior to their game Thursday versus the Bucks, NBA reporter Jake Fischer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Castleton will fill the roster spot vacated by forward Marcus Bagley, who isn't expected to be retained after his 10-day contract expired Thursday. The 24-year-old Castleton had most recently been playing for the G League's Osceola Magic, but he's had stints in the NBA this season with the Grizzlies and Raptors. Over his 20 appearances (four starts) between those two teams, the 6-foot-10 center has averaged 4.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 15.3 minutes per contest. Castleton could enter the rotation right away for a banged-up 76ers squad and serve as Adem Bona's primary backup Thursday.

Castleton's second 10-day contract with the Raptors expired Tuesday, and Toronto isn't expected to re-sign him prior to Wednesday's game in Brooklyn, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Castleton saw extensive action with Toronto during his 10-day deals, appearing in each of the last 10 contests while averaging 6.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 blocks in 25.8 minutes per contest. Though the Raptors have the option of signing Castleton to a rest-of-season deal, the team prefers to use the 15th spot on the roster to cycle in a new player on a 10-day contract. Expect the Raptors to sign a new player prior to Wednesday, while Castleton will. At the same time, he presumably heads back to the G League and joins the Osceola Magic, with whom he had been playing before signing his first 10-day deal with Toronto.

Castleton is not in Toronto's starting lineup against Washington on Monday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Castleton will come off the bench Monday due to the return of Jakob Poeltl, who rested during Sunday's loss to San Antonio. Castleton started in four of the Raptors' last six games, and over that span he averaged 8.2 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.7 steals over 27.3 minutes per game.

Castleton will start Sunday's game against the Spurs, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jakob Poeltl and Immanuel Quickley resting, Castleton and Jamal Shead will slide into the starting lineup. As a starter this season (three games), Castleton has averaged 10.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in 31.3 minutes per game.

Castleton will come off the bench Thursday night against the Warriors, Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Castleton drew a spot start Monday with Jakob Poeltl getting a night off, but the Florida product will rotate back to his usual bench role Thursday now that Poeltl is back in action. Castleton played well in his last appearance as a reserve Sunday, finishing with eight points, 12 rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes.
