2026年2月7日，星期六，在圣安东尼奥进行的一场NBA常规赛马刺对阵达拉斯独行侠的第三节比赛中，圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 持球突破上篮。在NBA总裁亚当·萧华 (Adam Silver) 选择多伦多猛龙的布兰登·英格拉姆 (Brandon Ingram) 作为斯蒂芬·库里 (Stephen Curry) 的伤病替补后，福克斯和队友斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 均无缘入选全明星。
洛杉矶——由于金州勇士球星库里正饱受右膝伤病困扰，NBA总裁萧华在周二醒来后，需要为周日的全明星正赛挑选一名替补球员。
马刺前锋巴恩斯环顾了Crypto.com球馆里的球队更衣室，看到了几个绝佳的人选。
2026年2月4日，星期三，在圣安东尼奥弗罗斯特银行中心主场对阵俄克拉荷马城雷霆的比赛开始前，圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫德阿隆·福克斯低头祈祷。在NBA总裁亚当·萧华选择多伦多猛龙的布兰登·英格拉姆作为斯蒂芬·库里的伤病替补后，福克斯和队友斯蒂芬·卡斯尔均无缘入选全明星。
是卡斯尔还是福克斯？
“如果他或者福克斯没有得到考虑，那简直是不可理喻的，”巴恩斯说道。
最终，全明星赛并未上演“斯蒂芬换斯蒂芬”的戏码。
萧华选择了多伦多的英格拉姆递补库里，这位身高6英尺8英寸的前锋职业生涯第二次入选全明星，也是自2019-20赛季以来的首次。
英格拉姆将与猛龙队友斯科蒂·巴恩斯 (Scottie Barnes) 联袂出战，这使得这支东部排名第五的球队在周日于洛杉矶直觉穹顶球馆 (Intuit Dome) 举行的盛会中拥有了两名代表。
维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 依然是马刺队唯一参加全明星赛的球员。
考虑到马刺队在周二赛前取得了36胜16负的战绩，巴恩斯表示，他希望卡斯尔和福克斯至少能出现在空缺名额的候选名单中。
“我们排名西部第二，”巴恩斯在周二对阵洛杉矶湖人的赛前说道，“排在我们之后的球队都有两名全明星。我不明白在讨论对赢球的影响力时，他们中的任何一个人为什么不被选中，或者至少应该在考虑范围内。”
福克斯以场均19.5分排名马刺队内得分榜第二，同时还能送出6.2次助攻。
在萨克拉门托效力的七个赛季中曾入选过一次全明星的福克斯表示，他已经学会了不对这类选拔抱有太多逻辑上的期待。
“我看到战绩最差的球队也出了一名全明星，”福克斯指的是印第安纳步行者的帕斯卡尔·西亚卡姆 (Pascal Siakam)，“我想当我去年二月被交易到这里时，我场均能得到25分，但也没能入选。所以我对此一点也不在乎。”
卡斯尔则表示，尽管他在自己第二个NBA赛季的开局打出了全明星级别的表现，但他并没有指望周二早上会接到总裁办公室的电话。
虽然无缘周日的正赛，但卡斯尔表示，他很期待至少能参加周五的新秀挑战赛。他届时将与菜鸟队友迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 同场竞技。
“能成为全明星周末的一部分我已经感到很荣幸了，”卡斯尔说，“我并没在等电话，但如果真的发生了，那也很酷。”
对于20岁的卡斯尔来说，这次洛杉矶之旅已经充满了荣誉。就在前一天，在球队包机飞行途中，他得知了自己职业生涯首次荣膺西部周最佳球员的消息。
2026年2月7日，星期六，在圣安东尼奥进行的NBA常规赛马刺对阵达拉斯独行侠的第四节中，圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (5) 飞身扣篮。在NBA总裁亚当·萧华选择多伦多猛龙的布兰登·英格拉姆作为斯蒂芬·库里的伤病替补后，卡斯尔和队友德阿隆·福克斯均无缘入选全明星。
马刺教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 站在过道里宣布了这一消息。
卡斯尔称这个消息“出乎意料”。
“我知道有什么好消息要公布，”这位NBA现任年度最佳新秀说道，“我们以前有过周最佳球员，但我不知道那个人是我，我完全没头绪。”
在截至2月8日当周的三场比赛中，卡斯尔在场均26.7分钟的上场时间里，以63%的命中率砍下24分、7.3个篮板、7.3次助攻和3.0次抢断。
他以一个惊人的40分、12篮板、12助攻的大号三双，带领马刺在周六以138-125击败达拉斯独行侠，为那一周的表现画上了圆满句号。
这是马刺队史上第三次出现40分档位的三双，另外两次均由名人堂中锋大卫·罗宾逊 (David Robinson) 创造。
截至周二，卡斯尔场均得到17分、全队最高的7次助攻以及5.7个篮板。他以58次抢断领跑全队。
巴恩斯说，周最佳球员奖项对卡斯尔来说应该是“许多荣誉中的第一个”。
“他一直打得很棒，”巴恩斯评价道，“上一场比赛，我认为他把篮板、组织、高水平防守和得分能力完美结合在了一起。这些都是他每晚为我们做出的贡献。很高兴看到这些都融合在了一起。”
这还不足以将卡斯尔推向全明星周日的舞台，但足以让他获得周最佳。
卡斯尔当然乐于接受。
“这绝对是一种福分，”卡斯尔说，“这让我在接下来的几场比赛中感觉良好，对我来说是一个不错的小加成。”

Spurs’ Harrison Barnes believes Adam Silver made an All-Star mistake
San Antonio Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox (4) drives for a layup during the third quarter of an NBA basketball game against the Dallas Mavericks, Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026, in San Antonio. Fox and teammate Stephon Castle were shut out of NBA All-Star selections after NBA commissioner Adam Silver selected Toronto’s Brandon Ingram as an injury replacement for Stephen Curry.
LOS ANGELES — With Golden State star Stephen Curry nursing a right knee injury, NBA commissioner Adam Silver awoke Tuesday needing to select a replacement player for Sunday’s All-Star tournament.
Spurs forward Harrison Barnes looked around his team’s locker room at Crypto.com Arena and saw a couple of prime candidates.
San Antonio Spurs guard De’aaron Fox (4) bows his head in prayer before the start of a home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2026. Fox and teammate Stephon Castle were shut out of NBA All-Star selections after NBA commissioner Adam Silver selected Toronto’s Brandon Ingram as an injury replacement for Stephen Curry.
Stephon Castle or De’Aaron Fox perhaps?
“It would be criminal if him or Fox didn’t get a look,” Barnes said.
Ultimately, there would be no Steph-for-Steph All-Star swap.
Silver chose Toronto’s Brandon Ingram to fill in for Curry, affording the 6-foot-8 forward his second All-Star selection and first since 2019-20.
Ingram joins Raptors teammate Scottie Barnes as an All-Star, giving the fifth-place team in the Eastern Conference two representatives in Sunday’s main event at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
Victor Wembanyama remains the Spurs’ lone All-Star tournament participant.
Given the Spurs’ 36-16 record heading into Tuesday, Harrison Barnes said he hopes Castle and Fox were at least considered for the open slot.
“We’re No. 2 in the West,” Barnes said before Tuesday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers. “Teams below us have two All-Stars. I don’t know a case where if you’re talking about having an impact on winning, either of them shouldn’t be selected and/or at least under consideration.”
Fox ranks second on the Spurs in scoring at 19.5 points per game, while also doling out 6.2 assists.
A one-time All-Star during his seven seasons in Sacramento, Fox said he has learned not to look for much rhyme or reason from the selections.
“I saw the team with the worst record have an All-Star,” said Fox, referring to Indiana’s Pascal Siakam. “I think when I was traded here (last February), I was averaging 25 (points) and I wasn’t (selected). So I couldn’t care less.”
Castle, for his part, said he wasn’t exactly expecting a call from the commissioner’s office Tuesday morning despite a star-worthy start to his second NBA campaign.
Shut out of Sunday’s tournament, Castle said he is looking forward to at least participating in Friday’s Rising Stars Challenge. He is set to share the floor with rookie teammate Dylan Harper in that event.
“I’m blessed even to be a part of All-Star weekend,” Castle said. “I wasn’t looking for a call, but if it happened it would have been cool.”
It has already been an honor-filled trip to L.A. for the 20-year-old Castle, who a day earlier learned he had earned his first career Western Conference Player of the Week award while the team’s charter was in flight.
San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (5) dunks the ball during the fourth quarter of an NBA basketball game against the Dallas Mavericks, Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026, in San Antonio. Castle and teammate De’Aaron Fox were shut out of NBA All-Star selections after NBA commissioner Adam Silver selected Toronto’s Brandon Ingram as an injury replacement for Stephen Curry.
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson stood up in the aisle to make the announcement.
Castle called the news “unexpected.”
“I knew something was coming,” said Castle, who is the NBA’s reigning Rookie of the Year. “We’ve had a Player of the Week before. I didn’t know it was me. I had no clue.”
In three games during the week ending Feb. 8, Castle averaged 24 points, 7.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 3.0 steals in 26.7 minutes while shooting 63%.
He capped that run with a dazzling 40-point, 12-rebound, 12-assist triple-double in the Spurs’ 138-125 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday.
It was the third 40-point triple-double in Spurs franchise history, with Hall of Fame center David Robinson accounting for the other two.
Castle entered Tuesday averaging 17 points, a team-high seven assists and 5.7 rebounds per game. He leads the Spurs in steals with 58.
The Player of the Week award, Barnes said, should be the “first of many” for Castle.
“He’s been playing great,” Barnes said. “Last game, I think putting all together his ability to rebound, play make, defend at a high level, score the basketball. These are things he does for us on a nightly basis. It was good to see all that come together.”
It wasn’t enough to propel Castle to All-Star Sunday, but it was enough to garner Player of the Week.
Castle will certainly take it.
“It was a blessing for sure,” Castle said. “It felt good coming into the next couple of games. It was just a nice little add-on for me.”
