Stephon Castle is expected to miss two to three weeks after an MRI showed a left hip flexor strain, adding another significant absence to a San Antonio Spurs team that will already be without Victor Wembanyama and fellow guard Jordan McLaughlin for at least the next few weeks. Castle left at half time against Sacramento and now joins Wembanyama, who has a left calf strain, and McLaughlin, who strained his right hamstring in practice, leaving a 9-4 Spurs team that opened 5-0 to navigate a tricky stretch without the previous two Rookie of the Year winners in uniform.

He left the loss to Golden State after a 26-point, 12-rebound performance and then sat out the win over Sacramento while undergoing scans. Expected to miss two to three weeks, he now focuses on recovery while San Antonio try to keep momentum without their shot-blocking, scoring and rebounding focal point.
