San Antonio Spurs DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (back) won't play in Wednesday's meeting with Memphis. He'll now miss a third-consecutive game because of back spasms. Fortunately, Stephon Castle has shown signs of life of late, amassing 23 points and two steals as a member of the starting lineup on Monday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. Granted, Castle has a way to go before earning the trust of fantasy managers. But after the rookie's most recent performance, he deserves another start in all fantasy lineups against a Grizzlies squad that has struggled since the start of 2025.

San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (back) has been ruled out heading into Monday's game versus the Lakers. The 21-year-old will now miss a second-straight contest because of low back tightness. The Spurs don't play again until Wednesday versus Memphis, so there's a chance he could be back for that one. But in the meantime, Stephon Castle, averaging 13.8 points and 4.5 assists in 19 starts this season, could find himself back in the starting lineup.

San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (back) has been tagged as questionable for their Monday night contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. The former ninth-overall pick missed their last game due to lower back tightness, but that could be all the time he needed to come back to the court. The Spurs will likely take the time from shootaround to warm-ups to see if his back feels okay enough to play. If he's unable to suit up, Harrison Barnes, Julian Champagnie, and Keldon Johnson will see some extra minutes. Johnson was the best of the three in their last outing with 24 points, 11 rebounds, and one assist.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox has been upgraded from questionable to available on Sunday and will return from a three-game absence. He last played against the Memphis Grizzlies on January 3 when he dropped 23 points, five assists, three rebounds, and three steals. Fox should return to starting fantasy lineups regardless of format while Keon Ellis will probably lose some offensive value along with Malik Monk and Kevin Huerter seeing fewer minutes.

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (glute)could return on Sunday afternoon when the Kings visit the Bulls. Fox was also listed as questionable for Friday's game in Boston and even went through shootaround before being ruled out before tipoff. He has missed three straight games for Sacramento, but the Kings have kept right on winning, emerging victorious in six straight to start 2025. While Fox has been out, Domantas Sabonis and Malik Monk have carried the load while Keon Ellis has continued to start alongside Keegan Murray, who returned in the first game that Fox was sidelined. Fox leads the Kings with a 30.3% usage rate on the season and averaged 26.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.2 assists in his 35 games. Stay tuned to see if Fox will be able to suit up on Sunday in a very favorable matchup against the Bulls.
