迈阿密——在因球队所称的右髋部紧绷缺席了过去两场比赛后，得到了充分休息的斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 在周一晚上马刺队 136-111 大胜热火队 的比赛中打出了强劲的全能表现。
在23分钟的出场时间里，这位2024-25赛季的NBA年度最佳新秀砍下19分、7个篮板（其中3个进攻篮板）、6次助攻和2次抢断，帮助马刺队豪取六连胜，并完成了本赛季对热火队的横扫。
“我只是非常渴望回到赛场，”卡斯尔说道，“显然，我的伤情并不严重，更多是为了休息。所以，我觉得自己并没有掉队。”
卡斯尔表示，对于他和队友们来说，“为了我们期待的漫长季后赛而努力保持腿部活力”是“非常重要”的。
“这些比赛对我们来说依然很重要，”他说道，“我们在赛季剩余的时间里还有目标。但是，是的，我们只是想让每个人都尽可能保持充沛的精力。”
马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 表示，作为球队顶尖的外线防守者，卡斯尔“找回了之前的状态”。
“他开场时有一些失误，但我认为他表现得很犀利，能杀入禁区，及时出球，不在人堆里蛮干，”约翰逊说道，“我非常喜欢那7个篮板，尤其是3个进攻篮板。这是我们团队非常需要的元素……这创造了更多的进攻机会，同时也让他能在抢下防守篮板后直接发动反击。所以，当他像这样冲抢篮板时，影响力是非常大的。”
德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 也在因右腿筋紧绷缺席一场比赛后回归。在21分钟里，他贡献了6分、4次助攻、2个篮板和1次抢断。

MIAMI — A well-rested Stephon Castle had a strong all-around game for the Spurs in their 136-111 pounding of the Heat on Monday night after missing the last two games with what the team called tightness in his right hip.
In 23 minutes, the 2024-25 NBA Rookie of the Year had 19 points, seven rebounds (three offensive), six assists and two steals to help the Spurs win their sixth in a row and sweep the two-game season series with the Heat.
“I was just eager to get back,” Castle said. “Obviously, what I had going on wasn’t serious, more for just rest. So, I didn’t feel like I missed too much of a step.”
Castle said it’s “pretty important” for him and his teammates to “try to keep our legs fresh for what we want to be a long postseason.”
“These games still matter to us,” he said. “We got goals for the rest of the season. But, yeah, just trying to keep everybody as fresh as possible.”
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said Castle, the team’s top perimeter defender, “picked up where he left off.”
“He had some turnovers early, but I thought he was sharp as well, getting to the paint, getting off the ball, not playing in the crowd,” Johnson said. “Love the seven rebounds, three offensive. That’s an element that is much needed for our group. … It creates more opportunities offensively and then also allows him to rebound and push on a defensive rebound. So, very impactful when he rebounds like that.”
Devin Vassell also returned for the Spurs after missing one game with what the team called right hamstring tightness. In 21 minutes, he had six points, four assists, two rebounds and a steal.
