Stephon Castle gets a 12-word message from LeBron James

ByNBAUSA



The San Antonio Spurs have had to play for the past few weeks without their star Victor Vembanyamabut it was not a problem for them, because they still win. They recently had a big win against the Los Angeles Lakers and placed in the NBA Cup semifinals, where they will face the Oklahoma City Thunder.

One of the big reasons for their victory was the game Stephen Castlewho finished with a career-high 30 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. He put a dagger in the Lakers down the stretch with a big 3-pointer. With the statistical line, he became only the third player in franchise history to have 30+ points, 10+ rebounds and five or more assists in a game by age 21.

After the game, Castle received high praise from LeBron Jamesand he could take his jersey which arrived with a message from the Lakers star.

“Love everything about you Young King. Keep it up! Strive for greatness,” James wrote on the jersey.

At this point in James’ career, it’s an honor to get a signed jersey from him. There’s no doubt that Castle deserved it, especially looking at the game he had. With Castle and the rest of the team, they played well enough to weather the storm without their best player on the field.

The good news is that Vembanjama is progressing to return to the field, and it would not be a surprise if he returns already in the semi-finals.

“(He could come back) so yeah. He had a very good day today. He had good intentions this morning, and we’ll have to see how he reacts and reacts tomorrow,” head coach Mitch Johnson said, via Jared Weiss of the Athletics.

The fact that the Spurs are at full health will be of great importance to them as they face the best team in the league.
