As Wemby enters his third NBA season, the franchise exercised the fourth-year option on its foundational piece. Similarly, the reigning Rookie of the Year Castle is now <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nba/player/_/id/91750/stephoncastle" rel="noopener">locked in through 2026-27 as well</a>.</p><p>Listed at 7-foot-4, through two years, Wembanyama has shown the ability that makes him a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/san-antonio-spurs/spurs-news-victor-wembanyama-envisions-himself-becoming-the-face-nba">popular pick to become the next face of the league</a>. Coming off an NBA All-Star appearance last season, he averaged 24.3 points, 11 rebounds, 3.7 assists, a league-leading 3.8 blocks and 1.1 steals in starting and playing 46 games before his season was cut short due to right shoulder deep vein thrombosis.</p><p>As he’s worked his way back, the 21-year-old center was cleared before the start of training camp and says there’s no lingering concern that the injury could recur.</p><p>“No, not at all,” Wembanyama declared during the team’s Media Day. “Medically, there’s no concern at all. And, as for my own personal worries, I’m way passed that.”</p><p>The Spurs’ leading scorer won Rookie of the Year in 2023-24 and is the only player in league history to have 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, 200 blocks and 200 three-pointers through his first two NBA seasons.</p><p>“It’s been months since I’ve been feeling confident as much in the movement as in the way my body works in my physiology,” Wemby continued as he gets set for the 2024-25 campaign.</p><p>“I feel like I need to play basketball now. Obviously, I played basketball almost all summer. But, with my body, there’s only so many steps that I’m going to pass this summer,” The French native added. “I’m only going get so much better. I’ve already, I think I’ve maxed out what I could do in one summer.”</p><p>Through four preseason games. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/san-antonio-spurs/spurs-news-victor-wembanyama-hulk-strength-viral-scrimmage">Wembanyama has continued to flash his knack for </a><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/san-antonio-spurs/spurs-news-victor-wembanyama-hulk-strength-viral-scrimmage" rel="noopener">highlight-</a>worthy plays. But he’s also looked to get teammates more involved.</p><p>“Now, I need to play basketball and work on my skills as a team tactically.

A unanimous selection to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, the former UConn Husky appeared in 80 games, starting 47, averaging a rookie-best 14.7 points to go along with 4.1 assists and 3.7 rebounds. The 20-year-old guard led all first-year players in total points, made field goals, total steals and made free throws.</p><p>The organization’s exercise of the third-year team option of his contract <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/san-antonio-spurs/spurs-stephon-castle-reveals-top-priorities-in-second-nba-season">reinforces the notion that Castle has secured his standing</a> within their future plans. Along with Wembanyama, 2025 second overall draft pick Dylan Harper, Jeremy Sochan, Devin Vassell, and Keldon Johnson, Castle helps form the foundation of a core the Spurs hope can get them back into championship contention for years to come.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The organization, though, also says the different look acts as a bridge with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/san-antonio-spurs/victor-wembanyama-bold-prediction-2025-26-season">tradition evolving to embody the next chapter</a>. Designed by Nike, the Statement Edition uniform introduces a host of new design elements that pay homage to the city of San Antonio and past jersey elements. The new jersey takes cues from the Spurs current Association and Icon uniforms, while integrating a new “Go Spurs Go” word mark above the anthem tag, which will soon become standard for all Spurs Core uniforms starting with the 2027-28 season.</p><p>“Are we wearing them tonight?” Castle wondered after the Spurs practice ahead of a recent preseason game.</p><p>He then quickly answered another question.</p><p>“No, we’re not wearing them tonight, right?”</p><p>Members of the media verified that the team will debut the new uniforms during the regular season.</p><p>The Spurs trademark rowel symbol is seamlessly blended into the side panels of the shorts, integrating a key icon of the Spurs brand in a sleek and minimalist fashion. Fans will also see new partner Ledger represented on the jersey patch in their first season with the team, spotlighting a partnership they say embodies a bright future and great expectations that lie ahead for the organization.</p><h2>Spurs make team history with new ‘digs’</h2><p>The Spurs showed off the different, yet somewhat traditional look a week and a half before the regular season starts. The new uniform presents a familiar yet evolved design concept in this new iteration. It’s the team’s first update to the Statement Edition uniform since the 2022-23 season and will serve as the Core alternate for the next three seasons.</p><p>This also marks the first Core uniform since 1989 to feature the “San Antonio” word mark in place of the “Spurs,” leaning into the team’s reverence and love for their home city since 1973. The 89-’90 season, which coincided with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/san-antonio-spurs/reasons-david-robinson-not-tim-duncan-better-victor-wembanyama-rookie-comparison-spurs">David Robinson’s spectacular rookie campaign</a>, marked the franchise’s switch to a road jersey that featured “Spurs” across the chest. Their home uniforms have also featured the team’s nickname in big, bold black letters above the jersey number.</p><p>San Antonio will debut the new Statement Edition uniforms at their first Emirates Cup game on Friday, November 7, when they host the Houston Rockets. That night can’t come soon enough for Castle. And not just because Houston’s become a bit of a rival for these Spurs.</p><p>“I’m excited for them. I like them,” the 20-year-old guard said of the new uniforms.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"Super excited…<br>just being able to add to that (what the team's already done this preseason)"<br>-Stephon Castle on playing in his first game after knocking knees with Wemby<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Spurs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Spurs</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GoSpursGo?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GoSpursGo</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PorVida?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#PorVida</a> <a href="https://t.co/VCaO06umBl">pic.twitter.com/VCaO06umBl</a></p><p>— Hector Ledesma (@HectorLedesmaTV) <a href="https://twitter.com/HectorLedesmaTV/status/1977817218693161390?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 13, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The squad will also wear their new kits for an additional 18 games this season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
