Castle out 2-3 weeks with left hip flexor strain, joining Wembanyama on Spurs injury list

By Canadian Press on November 18, 2025.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle is expected to miss two to three weeks after an MRI revealed a left hip flexor strain.

Castle underwent the MRI on Monday, a day after sitting out the second half of San Antonio’s 123-110 victory over Sacramento. Castle had four points while playing 15:34 in the first half and closing the second quarter on the court.

Castle’s injury status comes a day after the Spurs announced an MRI revealed Victor Wembanyama has a strained left calf. Sources told The Associated Press that Wembanyama will miss a minimum of two to three weeks.

Wembanyama attended a morning shootaround Tuesday as San Antonio prepared to face Memphis. He did not participate in team workouts but was seen dribbling and working out alone.

Wembanyama is averaging 26.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists and leads the league with 3.58 blocks per game.

Castle is averaging 17.3 points, 7.5 assists and 5.8 rebounds.

San Antonio will be without the league’s previous two Rookie of the Year winners for at least the next few weeks.

The Spurs are 9-4, including a franchise-best 5-0 start.

Also, an MRI confirmed San Antonio guard Jordan McLaughlin suffered a strained right hamstring during a workout Monday at the team’s practice facility.
