San Antonio Spurs Injury Update: Major Stephon Castle and Devin Vassell Concern as Franchise Suffer Big Blow Ahead of Knicks Game (Dec. 31)

The San Antonio Spurs have been adversely impacted by nagging injuries in the ongoing season. Just when the franchise seems to take a big step forward, it is forced to take one step back owing to injuries. Ahead of their game against the New York Knicks on Wednesday, huge concerns emerged about Stephon Castle and Devin Vassell's health.

Castle was listed as questionable on the team's injury report after practice concluded on Tuesday. The young and athletic guard is dealing with a left thumb sprain, putting his status for the big-ticket game in jeopardy. The former Rookie of the Year played 34 minutes when the Spurs fell to a 113-101 loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday.

Castle delivered a steady all-round performance, but lacked discipline while orchestrating the offense and efficiency in scoring. He finished with 15 points, four rebounds, eight assists and one steal, while shooting 5 of 13 from the floor, including 0 of 3 from 3-point range.
