It appears that the injury happened late in the fourth quarter against the Blazers. Castle jumped to contest a layup but collided with Harrison Ingram in mid-air.
Castle fell to the ground and seemed to be in considerable pain. He lay on the floor for quite some time, shaking up.
When Castle rose to his feet, he noticeably held his right wrist in pain.
Reports say Castle suffered a minor injury, yet the Spurs aren’t going to take any chances in risking further injury with the No. 4 overall pick out of the University of Connecticut.
Castle will likely play significant minutes for San Antonio in the 2024-25 NBA season, whether coming off the bench or starting for the Spurs.
