Colin Castleton News, Rumors, Updates - Toronto Raptors

Time in Toronto likely over Castleton's second 10-day contract with the Raptors expired Tuesday, and Toronto isn't expected to re-sign him prior to Wednesday's game in Brooklyn, Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca...

Impact Castleton saw extensive action with Toronto over the course of his pair of 10-day deals, appearing in each of the last 10 contests while averaging 6.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 blocks in 25.8 minutes per contest. Though the Raptors have the option of signing Castleton to a rest-of-season deal, the team prefers to use the 15th spot on the roster to cycle in a new player on a 10-day contact. Expect the Raptors to sign a new player prior to Wednesday, while Castleton will presumably head back to the G League and join the Osceola Magic, with whom he had been playing before signing his first 10-day deal with Toronto.

Inks second 10-day pact The Raptors signed Castleton to a 10-day contract Sunday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Castleton signed his final 10-day contract with Toronto. The big man has made five consecutive appearances (two starts) for the Raptors since signing his first 10-day contract, during which he has averaged 7.0 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 blocks across 28.0 minutes per contest.

Makes second straight start Castleton started and finished with 13 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes in Friday's 126-118 win over the Jazz.

Impact After starting at power forward in Wednesday's win over the 76ers in place of Scottie Barnes, Castleton remained on the top unit as the Raptors' center due to Jakob Poeltl (rest) sitting out. Poeltl could be back in action for the Raptors' next game Sunday in Portland, but with Toronto likely to hold out multiple rotation players for rest purposes or minor injuries in nearly every game for the rest of the season, Castleton could have an opportunity to retain steady minutes. His 10-day contract with the Raptors will expire Saturday, but expect Castleton to be re-signed ahead of Sunday's contest. Castleton is averaging 7.0 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 28.0 minutes per contest while shooting 55.6 percent from the field over his first five appearances with Toronto.

Plays in garbage time in return Castleton (wrist) played the final 1:19 of Wednesday's 136-124 win over the Grizzlies and didn't record any statistics during his time on the court.

Impact Castleton, one of the Lakers' three two-way players, was cleared to return to action Wednesday after he hadn't appeared at the NBA or G League level since Feb. 10 while recovering from a fractured right wrist. Even with Anthony Davis (knee) sidelined for the second leg of a back-to-back set, the rookie big man out of Florida remained out of head coach Darvin Ham's rotation, as the Lakers relied mostly on small-ball lineups when fill-in starting center Jaxson Hayes (31 minutes) was off the court.

Set to return Wednesday Castleton (wrist) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies.

Impact Castleton hasn't played since Feb. 14 due to a fractured right wrist but is available to play Wednesday. However, the 23-year-old big man is unlikely to receive significant playing time.

Out indefinitely with broken wrist Castleton is expected to miss multiple weeks after he recently suffered a fractured right wrist, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Castleton, one of the Lakers' two-way players, hasn't seen any game action at the G League or NBA level since Feb. 14, but it's unclear when exactly he suffered the injury. The fractured wrist comes at an inconvenient time for Castleton, who may have had an outside chance to push Jaxson Hayes for the top backup role at center with his other competitor for the job, Christian Wood (knee) already facing a multi-week absence of his own. The undrafted rookie out of Florida had made just seven appearances for Los Angeles this season but has been a standout performer for the G League's South Bay Lakers when available, averaging 16.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 blocks and 0.9 steals in 28.8 minutes per game over 24 appearances.

FEBRUARY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Secures seven rebounds in win Castleton posted four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds and two blocks in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 109-101 preseason win over the Kings.

Impact Castleton had a limited impact offensively Wednesday, but he was a productive defender off the bench, tying for the team lead in rebounds while also posting a team-high mark in blocks. The 23-year-old is with the Lakers on a two-way deal but also impressed during Summer League play, so it's possible he earns some minutes in Los Angeles' rotation at some point this year.
