Spurs guard Stephon Castle suffered a bruised pelvis Tuesday in a blowout win over the Lakers and expected to be a game-time decision for Wednesday’s game against Golden State.
Mitch Johnson appeared unhappy De’Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle were not named All-Stars, pointing out how the Spurs — who have the league’s third best record — are not one of the seven teams with multiple All-Stars.
Bulls guard Collin Sexton was fined $35,000 by the NBA on Tuesday night for his middle finger gesture in Chicago’s loss the previous night to the Nets.
The Lakers will be without LeBron James (foot), Luka Doncic (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (calf) for Tuesday’s game against the Spurs. The missed game rules James out for postseason awards, ending his 21-season, All-NBA streak.
Jayson Tatum participated in his first scrimmage with the Celtics’ G League affiliate but cautioned that this latest step doesn’t mean his return is imminent.
