旧金山讯——马刺后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 很有信心，他在周二马刺 136-108 大胜洛杉矶湖人的上半场遭遇的骨盆挫伤不会让他缺阵太久。
如果按照卡斯尔自己的意愿，他周三就能在对阵金州勇士的比赛中重返赛场。但在离开洛杉矶时，这仍有待观察。
在洛杉矶的第二节比赛还剩 4 分 10 秒时，卡斯尔在封盖湖人队八村垒 (Rui Hachimura) 的扣篮尝试时遭遇了惊魂一摔，重重地倒在 Crypto.com 球馆的地板上并因此受伤。
卡斯尔在地上躺了几分钟才站起来，随后他独自直接走向了更衣室。
半场时对卡斯尔背部进行的 X 光检查显示没有结构性损伤。由于球队所称的骨盆挫伤，他在下半场休战。
通俗点说，卡斯尔为了击败湖人，确实是把屁股给摔惨了。
“我当时希望能脚着地，”卡斯尔说，“那次摔倒挺奇怪的。我没料到他会尝试扣篮，这让我有点措手不及。我以为他会去打板。”
卡斯尔受伤时，马刺队领先 25 分。看到这位坚韧不拔的队友在地上躺了这么久，其他马刺球员都感到心惊胆战。
维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 表示：“他不是那种我们会经常看到在地上躺那么久的人。每一秒过去，我都更担心一点。”
马刺主帅米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 表示，看到卡斯尔能够依靠自己的力量走向更衣室时，他如释重负。
“我预计他会感到非常酸痛——不止是酸痛，”约翰逊说，“好在他能自己走下场，而且感觉没有其他大碍。”
在周三客场挑战金州勇士之后，卡斯尔计划回到洛杉矶，参加周五在直觉巨蛋 (Intuit Dome) 举行的全明星新秀挑战赛。
他表示目前自己的状态是“每日观察”。
“他是我认识的最强硬的球员之一，”文班亚马谈到卡斯尔时说，“我非常有信心他能很快回归。”
约翰逊感叹马刺在全明星评选中未获青睐
在那些对马刺今年只有一名球员入选全明星阵容感到困惑的人中，约翰逊也是其中之一。
入选首发阵容的文班亚马将是马刺唯一参加周日在洛杉矶举行的全明星正赛的球员。
“我确实认为，达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 和卡斯尔没有被选为全明星，这是一件非常有意思的事，”约翰逊在周二战胜湖人队之前主动提到了这一点。
NBA 总裁亚当·萧华 (Adam Silver) 为今年的全明星阵容确定了两名伤病替换人选，选择了休斯顿的阿尔佩伦·申京 (Alperen Sengun) 替代俄克拉荷马城的谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander)，以及多伦多的布兰登·英格拉姆 (Brandon Ingram) 顶替金州勇士的斯蒂芬·库里 (Steph Curry)。
约翰逊将担任三支全明星球队之一的主帅，他指出有七支 NBA 球队有两名或更多球员入选全明星。
马刺队并不在其中，尽管在周三的比赛前，该俱乐部取得了 37 胜 16 负的战绩，排名西部第二。
“这并不是要抹杀任何入选全明星球员的功劳，因为他们都打出了伟大的赛季，”约翰逊说，“我能想到的我们只配拥有一名全明星的唯一理由是，肯定有很多人把维克托·文班亚马视作 MVP 的领跑者之一。”

SAN FRANCISCO — Spurs guard Stephon Castle is confident the pelvic contusion he suffered in the first half of the Spurs’ 136-108 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday won’t keep him out for long.
If Castle had his way, he would be back on the court Wednesday at Golden State. That much was still to be determined leaving L.A.
“I’m hoping to play,” Castle said after Tuesday’s contest.
Castle was injured with 4:10 remaining in the second quarter in Los Angeles, taking a frightening fall to the Crypto.com Arena court while blocking a dunk attempt by the Lakers’ Rui Hachimura.
Castle remained on the floor for several minutes before rising to his feet. He walked directly to the locker room on his own.
X-rays on Castle’s back taken at halftime revealed no structural damage. He sat out the second half with what the team termed a pelvic contusion.
In layman’s terms, Castle literally busted his backside to beat the Lakers.
“I was hoping to land on my feet,” Castle said. “It was kind of like a weird fall. I didn’t expect him to (try to) dunk it. That’s what messed me up. I thought he was going to go for the backboard.”
The Spurs were ahead by 25 at the time of Castle’s injury. Seeing their tough-as-nails teammates incapacitated on the floor for such an extended period was jarring to the other Spurs.
“He’s not a guy that we’re used to seeing stay on the ground that long,” Victor Wembanyama said. “Every second that passed, I was a little more worried.”
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said he breathed a sigh of relief when Castle was able to take himself to the locker room under his own power.
“I’m expecting he’ll be pretty sore — more than pretty sore,” Johnson said. “It was good that he walked off and didn’t feel like it was anything else.”
After Wednesday’s trip to Golden State, Castle is slated to return to Los Angeles to play in the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday at the Intuit Dome.
He said he considered himself “day to day.”
“He’s one of the toughest guys I know,” Wembanyama said of Castle. “I’m pretty confident he’s going to come back quick.”
Johnson bemoans Spurs’ lack of All-Star love
Count Johnson among those perplexed at how the Spurs only landed one player on this year’s All-Star roster.
Selected as a starter, Wembanyama will be the Spurs’ lone participant in Sunday’s All-Star tournament in L.A.
“I do think it’s very interesting that De’Aaron Fox and Steph Castle have not been named an All-Star,” Johnson said unprompted before Tuesday’s win over the Lakers.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver named a pair of injury replacements for this year’s All-Star teams, tabbing Houston’s Alperen Sengun to take the place of Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Toronto’s Brandon Ingram to fill in for Golden State’s Steph Curry.
Johnson, who will coach one of the three All-Star teams, noted seven NBA clubs have placed multiple players on the All-Star squad.
The Spurs are not among them, despite the club’s 37-16 record heading into Wednesday and its spot in second place of the Western Conference.
“It’s nothing to take away from anyone who has been named an All-Star, because they’ve all had great years,” Johnson said. “The only way that I can think we are deserving of (only) one All-Star is there must be a lot of people who have Victor Wembanyama as one of the frontrunners for MVP.”
