Castle is questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks due to a left shoulder contusion, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a new injury for the rookie, who put up 20 points (7-15 FG), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Sunday's loss in Minnesota. With Jeremy Sochan (calf) doubtful, Julian Champagnie and Keldon Johnson are candidates for increased roles against Dallas.

Castle produced 20 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 28 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 141-124 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie guard has found a groove as part of the Spurs' second unit. Castle has scored at least 20 points in five of the last six games, averaging 23.3 points, 5.2 boards, 4.7 assists, 1.7 threes and 1.2 steals over that stretch while shooting 50.9 percent from the floor. With Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) out for the rest of the season, Castle's usage should remain high as San Antonio scrambles to find offense.

Castle produced 25 points (10-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 127-109 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Castle excelled on a night where De'Aaron Fox was projected to post a big number against his former team. Instead, Castle was the top backcourt option, besting Fox and Chris Paul with a solid and accurate evening. The 2024 first-round pick will likely see more time down the stretch, as he'll move into a full-time role if Paul doesn't sign another one-year deal in the offseason.

Castle finished with 17 points (8-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-4 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two steals across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 127-113 win over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Castle provided a full stat line in the win, leading the second unit in points and assists. The 20-year-old also racked up multiple swipes for the 15th time this season. However, the rookie first-round pick struggled from beyond the arc once again, and he has shot only 24.3 percent from downtown in eight outings since the All-Star break. On the bright side, Castle continues to provide a spark off the bench, averaging 15.4 points across 24.3 minutes per contest in that same eight-game span.

Castle (thumb) is available for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn, according to Spurs reporter Raul Dominguez.
EDGE Analysis
Castle was previously considered questionable to play, but the rookie guard will give it a go Tuesday. He's been hot lately, averaging 26.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.3 steals over his last four games.

Castle (thumb) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn.
EDGE Analysis
The left thumb sprain is a new injury for Castle, who hasn't missed an outing since Dec. 13. The rookie first-round pick is coming off a stellar 32-point performance during Sunday's loss to the Thunder. Over his last five outings, he has averaged 16.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.6 three-pointers across 25.6 minutes per game off the bench. If Castle is sidelined Tuesday, Julian Champagnie and Malaki Branham could see a bump in minutes.

Castle ended Sunday's 146-132 loss to the Thunder with 32 points (12-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-7 FT), eight rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
With 32 points, Castle finished one point shy of his career-best mark. He's been on a mini heater for the Spurs, averaging 26.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 31.5 minutes over his last three outings. The heavy usage for Castle should continue for the shorthanded Spurs, who'll be without Victor Wembanyama (shoulder) for the remainder of the season.

Castle totaled 24 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 130-128 victory over Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Castle surpassed the 20-point mark for the second consecutive appearance, and the rookie continues to shine despite not being part of the first unit. He also bounced back from a couple of subpar performances, and he's been a reliable option off the bench for the most part. He's averaging 15.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game across 11 contests since moving to the second unit in early February.

Castle ended with 22 points (9-22 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and three steals in 30 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 118-106 loss to Houston.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie wing tied Keldon Johnson for the team lead in scoring as no Spurs starter managed to score even in double digits. It was Castle's best offensive performance since he poured in 33 points against the Hornets on Feb. 7, and it was an impressive bounce-back effort after the UConn product managed only six points combined in the prior two contests. Over 10 games as part of the second unit, Castle is averaging 14.5 points, 3.8 boards, 2.2 assists, 1.5 steaks and 0.9 threes in 22.7 minutes a game.

Castle totaled four points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and four rebounds over 12 minutes during Tuesday's 109-103 loss to New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Castle received fewer than 13 minutes of playing time for the first time since Dec. 29, failing to leave a positive impact off the bench. The rookie first-round pick has put together a fairly successful season thus far. However, he has struggled in his last two outings, during which he has accumulated only six points (2-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 34 total minutes.
