Wemby AND Stephon Castle are both OUT tonight vs.

Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle are both listed as OUT for Wednesday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Wemby has a rib contusion, Castle a sore knee — but let's be real, the Spurs aren't risking anything with 60 wins already in the bag.

San Antonio has had one of the most remarkable seasons in recent NBA history. The Spurs went from rebuilding to 60 wins in what feels like the fastest turnaround the league has ever seen, and it's all built around the 7-foot-4 alien in the middle.

There's one small wrinkle: Wembanyama needs to play in one more game (his 65th) to be eligible for MVP and Defensive Player of the Year. He'll get it — but the Spurs are smart enough to pick their spots. No reason to play him in a meaningless regular season finale stretch when the playoffs are right around the corner.
