I never need to hear the name Nik Stauskas again. The Sacramento Kings shooting guard shall henceforth be known as "Sauce Castillo," thanks to a closed-captioning error first pointed out by Spin's Andrew Unterburger on Tuesday.
My closed captioning just referred to Nik Stauskas as "Sauce Castillo" and I will never be able to not call him this again

On Wednesday, word got back to the Kings rookie after a strong showing (13 points, 5-for-7 shooting, four rebounds, an assist and a steal in 18 minutes) against the Phoenix Suns. It appears he found it rather amusing.
Wait what does "Sauce Castillo" mean? Since when was that my nickname lol!! ??

The Kings' official Twitter account and their radio play-by-play guy approve of the nickname. That has to count for something, right?
Sauce Castillo spins and wins! ?? https://t.co/CY54L0aJtQ

Castillo and the Kings have won four games in a row. They'll face the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday.
