Solid outputs in limited minutes
Castle (hip) registered 18 points (5-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 23 minutes Monday in the Spurs' 135-132 overtime win over the Pelicans.
Analyse
Though a rough shooting performance from two-point range took some luster off his overall stat line, Castle staged an impressive all-around performance in his return from a nine-game absence due to a left hip flexor strain. Coming into Monday, Castle had been averaging 31.9 minutes per game on the season, so he seemed to be operating with a playing-time restriction in place in his first appearance since Nov. 16. Expect that restriction to be loosened a bit when the Spurs travel to Los Angeles on Wednesday for a matchup with the Lakers in the NBA Cup quarterfinals.

Good to go Monday
Castle (hip) said he will play Monday against the Pelicans, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
Analyse
Directly after wrapping up the morning shootaround, Castle said he was feeling good and that he would be back in the lineup. This will be his first action since Nov. 16, so he may face some restrictions. With Castle back, guys like Julian Champagnie, Keldon Johnson and David Jones Garcia could be less involved.

Goes through shootaround
Castle (hip) participated in Monday's morning shootaround, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
Analyse
After logging a full practice Sunday, Castle continues to trend in the right direction. He hasn't played since Nov. 16, but he's officially listed as questionable to face the Pelicans on Monday.

Questionable for Monday
Castle (hip) is questionable to play Monday in New Orleans, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Analyse
Castle was able to get through a full practice Sunday, and Monday will mark the first time he's been listed as questionable since going down with the hip injury, so he's trending in the right direction. Castle will likely be a game-time call Monday, but if he is able to get back out there, Julian Champagnie could be bumped from the first unit, and Keldon Johnson's minutes might dip.

Practices Sunday
Castle (hip) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Analyse
Castle hasn't played since Nov. 16 due to a left hip flexor strain, though he appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's game against the Pelicans. He can be considered highly questionable for that contest until the Spurs release their injury report, which is expected to come out by Sunday night. If Castle returns Monday, Julian Champagnie and David Jones Garcia will likely see a dip in playing time.

Will remain out Friday
Castle (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Analyse
Castle hasn't played since Nov. 16, and per Mike Finger of the San Antonio Express-News, the second-year guard isn't traveling with the team during the Spurs' current road trip, which ends next Wednesday in Los Angeles. While it's possible Castle joins the Spurs eventually, fantasy managers shouldn't hold their breath, especially with the way San Antonio continues to win games without Castle and Victor Wembanyama (calf).
