Former Michigan Wolverine Nik Stauskas has received a new nickname --whether he likes it or not.
During Tuesday's game between Stauskas' current team the Sacramento Kings and the Philadelphia 76ers, closed captioning gave Stauskas an interesting nickname, "Sauce Castillo."
My closed captioning just referred to Nik Stauskas as "Sauce Castillo" and I will never be able to not call him this again

The caption read, "Sauce Castillo hit the three, Nik Stauskas, the 8th pick in the draft."
Wait what does "Sauce Castillo" mean? Since when was that my nickname lol!! ????????

Twitter and the Kings have now embraced the "Sauce Castillo" nickname.
Sauce Castillo? Sounds like the anti-hero of Robert Rodriguez or Tarantino film! Teatro de Los Reyes! @NStauskas11 pic.twitter.com/XOtRwWh6Ms

It's a pretty great nickname. I may just start rooting for "Sauce Castillo."
