Impact Castleton carried a questionable tag into Sunday's bout due to a left ankle sprain, but he will ultimately be able to suit up. His availability likely holds no fantasy implications.

Questionable for Sunday Castleton (illness/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Portland.
Impact Castleton is working through both a left ankle sprain and an illness, which could force him to be sidelined for Sunday's game. He's played just seven minutes across four regular-season outings in a reserve role, so his absence wouldn't make a huge difference for the Grizzlies.

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.

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.
