Spurs Rookie Stephon Castle Pranked by Veterans

San Antonio Spurs rookie Stephon Castle became the latest target of rookie hazing when his teammates removed all four tires from his new Toyota Supra, leaving it on bricks. The prank, filmed by guard Devin Vassell and shared on social media, drew a mix of laughter and backlash, with some fans criticizing the act as excessive and questioning its appropriateness. Despite the prank, Castle continues to excel on the court, currently leading the Rookie of the Year race with averages of 13.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists. All-Star De'Aaron Fox noted that Castle has been largely exempt from typical rookie duties, which usually include light-hearted tasks like buying donuts or singing for the team. The Spurs, however, celebrated a victory over the Dallas Mavericks that same night, winning 126-116. The incident has sparked conversations in the NBA community about the limits of hazing traditions.
