Castleton is expected to miss multiple weeks after he recently suffered a fractured right wrist, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Castleton, one of the Lakers' two-way players, hasn't seen any game action at the G League or NBA level since Feb. 14, but it's unclear when exactly he suffered the injury. The fractured wrist comes at an inconvenient time for Castleton, who may have had an outside chance to push Jaxson Hayes for the top backup role at center with his other competitor for the job, Christian Wood (knee) already facing a multi-week absence of his own. The undrafted rookie out of Florida had made just seven appearances for Los Angeles this season but has been a standout performer for the G League's South Bay Lakers when available, averaging 16.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 blocks and 0.9 steals in 28.8 minutes per game over 24 appearances.

Castleton posted four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds and two blocks in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 109-101 preseason win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Castleton had a limited impact offensively Wednesday, but he was a productive defender off the bench, tying for the team lead in rebounds while also posting a team-high mark in blocks. The 23-year-old is with the Lakers on a two-way deal but also impressed during Summer League play, so it's possible he earns some minutes in Los Angeles' rotation at some point this year.

Castleton totaled 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-3 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and a block over 29 minutes of Sunday's 104-103 Summer League win over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Castleton put together an impressive Summer League, and left on a high note, recording a game-high in rebounds and tying for a team-high in assists. He has shown an efficient inside game and excellent rebounding instinct throughout the Summer League as well as an ability to create for others. Castleton could make his way into the rotation come the regular season due to his eye-opening play this summer.
