Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle have been ruled out for the San Antonio Spurs' game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Spurs announced Wembanyama is out of the Wednesday night game after suffering a rib contusion on Monday and Castle is out with right knee soreness. Wembanyama needs to play at least 20 minutes in one more game to reach the league-required minimum of 65 games for award eligibility. The Spurs have three games left in the regular season. They have clinched the Southwest Division title and are assured of finishing no worse than second in the Western Conference.
