The San Antonio Spurs' 118-107 victory against the Brooklyn Nets got Stephon Castle's mother excited. The Spurs have one of the best starts in franchise history, with three straight wins. On Sunday, the team recorded its third consecutive win of the 2025-26 NBA season.
Throughout the Spurs' run, a lot of it had something to do with All-Star center Victor Wembanyama. In their season opener against the Dallas Mavericks, Wemby had a 40-point game. He followed that up with a matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans, where he had 29 points and nine blocks. On Sunday, the Frenchman had 31 points, 14 rebounds and six blocks.
Castle also made significant contributions to the Spurs' recent wins. The reigning Rookie of the Year had 22 points in the season opener. In his second game, he had 16 points, six rebounds and six assists. He followed that with a 13-point outing on 50% shooting.
This got his mother excited and energized the Spurs fans on X.

"3-0 brick by brick…. Go spurs go!!" Quannette Castle posted on social media.
The next challenge for the Spurs will be a contest against the Toronto Raptors on Monday. The Raptors have only played two games this season and will face the Mavericks on Sunday. It will be a different challenge for the Texas-based team.
Fans have enjoyed the dynamic between Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle. Even though they're young, they've developed great chemistry early in the year. This could be the season when the Spurs return to the postseason after missing it the past few years.
Stephon Castle needs to fix his turnover issue
Although the Spurs have been winning lately, the team needs its starting point guard to address some issues. While De'Aaron Fox recovers from an offseason injury, the team has leaned on Stephon Castle to handle starting point guard duties. The recent wins have overshadowed the problems the starting guard still needs to address.
Turnovers have been one of Castle's main issues since the start of the year. In the first game of the season, the 6-foot-6 guard had five turnovers, which was concerning since he dished out six assists that night. Thankfully, San Antonio captured the win against Dallas.
He followed that with a 10-turnover night against New Orleans. That game began to worry fans since he only had six assists in the contest. On Sunday, Castle turned the ball over five times.
Currently, Stephon Castle leads the team in turnovers. As the season progresses, he needs to reduce mistakes on the court.
