亚特兰大 – 在查尔斯·巴锡(Charles Bassey)周一在孟菲斯遭遇膝盖受伤后，马刺队周三晚上对阵亚特兰大的比赛，缺少了一名真正的替补中锋。
马刺队宣布巴锡因左膝内侧副韧带扭伤而缺席比赛。在周一将另一名替补内线扎克·科林斯交易到芝加哥后，马刺队将被迫让杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)和哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)这两名前锋来替补维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)的中锋位置。
马刺队希望巴锡能在全明星赛后，即2月20日在奥斯汀对阵菲尼克斯的比赛中复出。如果真是这样，他将缺席五场比赛。
“这是每天都要观察的情况，大概7到10天，一个星期，”巴锡在谈到他预计缺席的时间时说。“我很高兴是短期的，而不是长期的。我现在精力充沛，所以我很乐观，我会以同样的状态回来。”
巴锡受伤的膝盖与去年接受手术的膝盖是同一个，当时他在2023年12月代表马刺队在奥斯汀的G联赛附属球队效力时，前十字韧带撕裂。
在缺席了10个月后，这位四年级内线球员在10月份的季前赛中重返赛场。
巴锡的最新膝盖伤病发生在与孟菲斯灰熊队的杰克·拉拉维亚(Jake LaRavia)的一次碰撞中，当时距离灰熊队以128-109击败马刺队的比赛还剩8分27秒。在拉拉维亚被判犯规后，他命中了两个罚球，但在不到一分钟后被迫彻底退出了比赛。
“我眼前浮现了一些画面，”巴锡说，指的是他在G联赛中遭受的更严重的伤病。
巴锡在周一的比赛中上场7分钟，得到4分和2个篮板。本赛季，他在32场比赛中场均上场10.8分钟，得到4.6分、4.6个篮板和0.9个盖帽。
克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)在周三的投篮训练中没有参加，此前马刺队将他列为左手食指扭伤出战成疑。
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔将参加穆林的新星队
马刺队新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)周二得知他将在旧金山的全明星周末期间为克里斯·穆林(Chris Mullin)的队效力，参加新星挑战赛。
卡斯尔的队友将包括洛杉矶湖人队的道尔顿·内克特、孟菲斯灰熊队的杰伦·威尔斯、犹他爵士队的基昂特·乔治、孟菲斯灰熊队的扎克·埃迪、金州勇士队的特雷斯·杰克逊-戴维斯和菲尼克斯太阳队的莱恩·邓恩。
荣誉教练蒂姆·哈达威、米奇·里奇蒙德和穆林从21名新秀和二年级生中选出了7名球员。前纽约尼克斯队后卫林书豪将率领一支由7名代表NBA G联赛的球员组成的球队。
NBA一年一度的顶级年轻球员展示赛定于2月14日晚上8点在旧金山大通中心举行。
文班亚马的全明星周末日程更加繁忙
除了参加2月16日的全明星正赛外，文班亚马还计划在2月15日在大通中心与保罗一起参加技巧挑战赛。
“这会很有趣，”文班亚马在谈到他繁忙的全明星周末时说。
卡斯尔也会很忙。除了新星挑战赛，这位第四顺位新秀还将在2月15日代表马刺队参加扣篮大赛。
“我特别兴奋地想看看斯蒂芬会做什么，”文班亚马说。

Spurs thin at backup center after Bassey suffers another knee injury
ATLANTA – The Spurs faced Atlanta on Wednesday night without a true backup center after Charles Bassey suffered a knee injury in Monday’s loss at Memphis.
The Spurs ruled Bassey out because of a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee. After trading another reserve big, Zach Collins, to Chicago on Monday, the Spurs will be forced to use either Jeremy Sochan and Harrison Barnes, both forwards, as backups to Victor Wembanyama at center.
The Spurs are hopeful Bassey can return after the All-Star break when they return to action on Feb. 20 against Phoenix in Austin. If that’s the case, he will have been sidelined for five games.
“It’s day-to-day, probably seven to 10 days, a week,” Bassey said of how long he expects to be out. “I’m just glad it’s short term and nothing long-term. My energy’s up right now, so I’m positive and I’m going to be back the same.”
Bassey’s injured knee is the same one that required surgery last year after he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in December 2023 while playing in a game for the Spurs’ G League affiliate in Austin.
The fourth-year big man returned to the court during the preseason in October after a 10-month absence.
Bassey suffered his latest knee injury in a collision with Memphis’ Jake LaRavia with 8:27 left in the 128-109 loss to the Grizzlies. He sank a pair of free throws after LaRavia was whistled for a foul but was forced to exit the game for good less than a minute later.
“I had flashbacks,” Bassey said, referring to the more serious injury he suffered in the G League.
Bassey finished Monday’s game with four points and two rebounds in seven minutes. For the season, he is averaging 4.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 10.8 minutes over 32 games.
Point guard Chris Paul didn’t participate in shootaround Wednesday after the Spurs listed him as questionable with a sprained left index finger.
Castle to play on Mullin’s Rising Stars team
Spurs rookie Stephon Castle learned Tuesday he will play for Chris Mullin’s team during the Rising Stars competition at All-Star Weekend in San Francisco.
Castle’s teammates will be the Los Angeles Lakers’ Dalton Knecht, Memphis’ Jaylen Wells, Utah’s Keyonte George, Memphis’ Zach Edey, Golden State’s Trayce Jackson-Davis and Phoenix’s Ryan Dunn.
Honorary coaches Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond and Mullin selected seven players from the pool of 21 rookies and sophomores. Former New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin will lead the team of seven players representing the NBA G League.
The NBA’s annual showcase of premier young talent is set for 8 p.m. Feb. 14 at Chase Center.
Wembanyama’s All-Star Weekend gets busier
In addition to playing in the All-Star tournament on Feb. 16, Wembanyama is scheduled to participate in the skills competition with Paul on Feb. 15 at Chase Center.
“That’s going to be a lot of fun,” Wembanyama said of his busy All-Star Weekend.
Castle will also be busy. In addition to the Rising Stars, the fourth overall pick will represent the Spurs in the dunk contest Feb. 15.
“I’m particularly excited to see Steph, what he’s going to do,” Wembanyama said.
