圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔（5号）在2025年11月16日，周日，于圣安东尼奥举行的一场NBA比赛的上半场，试图突破萨克拉门托国王队前锋德鲁·尤班克斯（19号）的防守。最终，圣安东尼奥以123-110击败萨克拉门托。
在2025-26赛季的某个时候，马刺队或许能以一套完整且健康的阵容出战。
不过，这一天短期内还不会到来。
二年级后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 已加入了球星中锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 的伤病名单，而这份名单上早已有了新秀后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 的名字。
由于在周日战胜萨克拉门托的比赛中遭遇髋屈肌拉伤，卡斯尔已被确定将缺席近期的比赛。
“我们只能一天天观察情况，”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 表示。“我们不希望这是个会持续很久的伤病。我们可能得先让伤情稳定下来，然后再看后续进展。”
马刺队计划在未来两周内对卡斯尔进行重新评估。而文班亚马则因左小腿拉伤，将至少缺阵未来两周的比赛。
哈珀在11月2日马刺客场不敌菲尼克斯的比赛中也遭遇了左小腿拉伤，目前正在逐步增加篮球相关活动，不过他距离复出可能仍需数周时间。
“随着时间的推移，他会继续参与更多实战对抗，场上会安排更多球员和他一起训练，”约翰逊说。“希望他能很快回到我们身边。”
文班亚马和卡斯尔是NBA过去两届的年度最佳新秀，而哈珀则力争为马刺队实现该奖项的三连庄。
周二以111-101战胜孟菲斯的比赛，是自卡斯尔被选中以来，马刺队首次在他和文班亚马同时缺阵的情况下迎战。
上赛季，在总计82场常规赛中，卡斯尔出战了81场。
让马刺本已捉襟见肘的持球手阵容雪上加霜的是，替补后卫乔丹·麦克劳克林 (Jordan McLaughlin) 在周一的训练中遭遇右腿筋拉伤，同样将缺席比赛。
“我们最近似乎被伤病缠上了，”约翰逊谈到伤病潮时说。
约翰逊表示，恢复过程本身的性质决定了很难为任何一位马刺伤员精确地制定复出时间表。
“当伤病涉及肌肉和软组织时，”约翰逊说，“你必须先进行一定强度的训练，然后观察身体的反应，接着再增加一点训练量，再次观察身体的反应。”
“如果我现在就坐在这里，试图预测这些球员对他们各自不同的伤情恢复过程会作何反应，那也太愚蠢了。”
奥利尼克融入第二阵容
过去两场比赛文班亚马的缺阵，使得替补中锋凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk) 的上场时间有所增加。
这位34岁的老将在赛季开始前通过与华盛顿的交易来到球队，在周日战胜国王队之前，奥利尼克仅出战了三场比赛。
在过去两场比赛中，奥利尼克的出场时间都超过了18分钟，两场比赛合计贡献了15分、11个篮板和11次助攻。
“我们今天还开玩笑说，他快要成我们的替补控卫了，”前锋哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 说道。“你只要把球交给他，他总有办法策动进攻。”
老鹰输球，马刺受益
周四对阵亚特兰大的比赛对马刺而言有着非同寻常的意义。
得益于2022年关于德章泰·默里 (Dejounte Murray) 的那笔交易，马刺队拥有在明年夏天与老鹰队互换首轮选秀顺位的权利。亚特兰大的每一场失利，都会让那个选秀权对于马刺来说更具吸引力。
如果赛季今天结束，马刺队的顺位将从第25位跃升至第18位。
去年夏天，马刺队正是使用了在默里交易中从老鹰队获得的一个首轮选秀权，在第14顺位选中了卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant)。他们还将在2027年从老鹰队那里得到另一个无保护的首轮选秀权。
此后，默里已被交易至新奥尔良，目前他正在从跟腱断裂的伤势中恢复。

Who will be the next Spurs player off the injured list?
San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (5) looks for a way past Sacramento Kings’ forward Drew Eubanks (19) during the first half of an NBA game in San Antonio, Sunday, Nov. 16, 2025. San Antonio beat Sacramento 123-110.
At some point during the 2025-25 season, the Spurs might go into a game with a full and healthy roster.
That’s not going to come any time soon.
Second-year guard Stephon Castle has joined star center Victor Wembanyama on the injured list, which already included rookie guard Dylan Harper.
Castle has been ruled out for the near term with a hip flexor strain suffered in the Spurs’ victory over Sacramento on Sunday.
“We’ll just have to take it day by day,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “It’s not something we hope that’s going to be super long term. We probably have to let it settle and then see where it goes from there.”
The Spurs plan to re-evaluate Castle within the next two weeks. Wembanyama is on the shelf for at least the next two weeks with a left calf strain.
Harper suffered a left calf strain of his own during the Spurs’ loss at Phoenix on Nov. 2 and is slowly ramping up basketball activities, though he could still be weeks away from a return.
“He’ll continue to get more and more live looks and more bodies on the court as time progresses,” Johnson said. “Hopefully he’s back out there with us pretty soon.”
Wembanyama and Castle are the NBA’s past two Rookies of the Year, with Harper aiming to make it three in a row for the Spurs.
Tuesday’s 111-101 victory over Memphis marked the first time since Castle was drafted that the Spurs faced a game with neither he nor Wembanyama available.
Castle appeared in 81 of a potential 82 games last season.
Making matters worse for the Spurs’ beleaguered group of ball-handlers, backup guard Jordan McLaughlin suffered a right hamstring strain in a workout Monday and is also sidelined.
“It seems to be a thing right now,” Johnson said of the injury bug.
The nature of the recovery process makes it difficult to pinpoint a return-to-play timetable for any of the Spurs’ injured players, Johnson said.
“When you start talking about muscles and soft tissue,” Johnson said, “you have to work and then see how your body responds and then work a little bit more and see how your body responds.
“I’d be silly to try to sit here and predict how all these guys are going to respond to all the different things they have going on.”
Olynyk fitting in with second unit
Wembanyama’s absence the past two games resulted in an uptick in minutes for backup center Kelly Olynyk.
Acquired in a trade with Washington before the start of the season, the 34-year-old Olynyk had appeared in only three games before Sunday’s win over the Kings.
In the past two games, Olynyk has topped 18 minutes in each of the past two contests, totaling 15 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists between them.
“We were joking today he’s going to be the second-string point guard,” forward Harrison Barnes said. “You just kind of give him the ball and he finds a way to make something happen.”
A Hawks’ loss is Spurs’ gain
Thursday’s game against Atlanta comes with added stakes for the Spurs.
Thanks to the 2022 Dejounte Murray trade, the Spurs own the right to swap first-round draft slots with the Hawks next summer. Every Atlanta loss makes that pick a little more attractive to the Spurs.
If the season ended today, the Spurs would move up from 25th to 18th.
The Spurs used a first-round pick acquired from Atlanta in the Murray deal to select Carter Bryant at No. 14 last summer. They are due another unprotected first-round pick from the Hawks in 2027.
Murray has since been flipped to New Orleans, where he is recovering from an Achilles tendon rupture.
