Although the San Antonio Spurs have played surprisingly well without Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle, cracks are beginning to show. They've boasted a stellar 119.3 offensive rating without those two—the equivalent of being the sixth-ranked offense. However, their defense has slipped from being top-5 to 12th without them.
Fortunately, both Wembanyama and Castle are expected to return roughly at the same time. When they do, they will hopefully pick up right where they left off as being one of the best dynamic duos in the NBA. Castle thrived on both sides of the ball playing next to Wembanyama.
