San Antonio Spurs
April 2026

Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle were ruled out of San Antonio’s game against Portland, with Wembanyama dealing with a left rib contusion and Castle managing right knee soreness. The absences come with the regular season nearly over and award eligibility still in play for Wembanyama.

Rick Carlisle’s endorsement added weight to the idea that San Antonio are no longer just promising, but dangerous right now.
