Stephon Castle blamed for causing a 20-minute delay to Spurs-Rockets game

The game was nationally televised on NBC, and the broadcast was able to secure an incriminating video of Castle seemingly being the culprit for the delay. The reigning NBA Rookie of the Year decided to hang on the rim after a two-handed dunk during pregame warmups, apparently resulting in the basket becoming crooked.

Castle, 21, is in fairness a very high flier. He already competed in the Slam Dunk Contest as a rookie last season and is known as one of the bouncier point guards in the league today.

In fact, Castle did not become at all gun-shy after his delay mishap on Tuesday and proceeded to throw down a crazy windmill dunk-of-the-year candidate during the third quarter against the Rockets.

Also a former national champion with UConn, Castle is averaging 17.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 7.1 assists per game this season for the 30-13 Spurs. But he has had some less glamorous moments this year too, including both that delay and also getting taunted by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander during a recent loss.
