Stephon Castle’s 40-point triple-double sets stage as Spurs visit Lakers on Tuesday night
San Antonio heads to Los Angeles with momentum after a milestone night
The San Antonio Spurs visit the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, Feb. 10, at Crypto.com Arena, a matchup arriving days after guard Stephon Castle produced a career-high 40-point triple-double in a 138-125 home win over the Dallas Mavericks on Feb. 7.
Castle finished that game with 40 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists on 15-of-19 shooting, adding two steals. It was his second career triple-double and placed him alongside franchise great David Robinson as the only Spurs players to record a 40-point triple-double. The performance also helped close a 3-0 week for San Antonio, which was followed by Castle being named the NBA’s Western Conference Player of the Week for the week ending Feb. 8.
What Castle’s surge has meant for the Spurs
San Antonio enters the Lakers game at 36-16, positioned second in the Western Conference. During the award week, Castle averaged 24.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 3.0 steals while shooting 63% from the field. The Spurs went unbeaten across that stretch, continuing a broader run that included four straight wins and nine victories in 12 games at the time of the Dallas result.
The Mavericks game also underscored the Spurs’ ability to generate points in volume: San Antonio posted 81 points in the first half, a season high for points in a half.
Schedule context: a familiar February trip and a key road test
The Spurs’ trip to Los Angeles comes as the team approaches its annual Rodeo Road Trip. Following the Feb. 7 win, the Spurs were set to begin a stretch away from Frost Bank Center, with the next home date listed as March 5.
Lakers matchup: standings pressure and recent head-to-head notes
Los Angeles enters the game at 32-20, with the Lakers playing on the second night of a back-to-back. San Antonio has already won two of the teams’ three meetings this season, and the matchup again features a Spurs roster led by Victor Wembanyama alongside a guard group that includes Castle and De’Aaron Fox.
