San Antonio Spurs Information
The San Antonio Spurs play professional basketball in the NBA. The Spurs represent the Western Conference's Southwest Division in the NBA. The team's home games are held at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio. Many former Spurs remain engaged in the San Antonio area, notably David Robinson with the Carver Academy and George Gervin with the George Gervin Youth Center, both named for the players.
The norm is to let the athlete get experience in leagues outside of the United States. The player is not obligated to play in the NBA, and he is free to negotiate with other leagues. The Spurs may not pursue a player because his contract in another country has a pricey buyout clause.
For Thaddeus Young, Al-Farouq Aminu, a protected first-round draft selection, and the Bulls' 2022 and 2025 second-round picks, DeRozan was dealt to the Chicago Bulls in a sign-and-trade transaction after the 2020-2021 NBA season. The Spurs lost longstanding player Patty Mills to free agency but added shooting guard Doug McDermott. The San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers had the strongest rivalry in the NBA from 1999 to 2004. Since 1983, the Coyote has represented the Spurs on the field.
The Spurs were the lucky winners of the 2023 NBA draft lottery, which gave them the first overall selection that year (May 16, 2023). This was their third time picking first overall after picking David Robinson in 1987 and Tim Duncan in 1997. Victor Wembanyama was the highly anticipated first pick the Spurs used to acquire him.
The San Antonio Spurs finished the 2024-25 season with a 34-48 record, placing 13th in the Western Conference. Some of the key trades included acquiring De’Aaron Fox from Sacramento, but midseason deals sent Zach Collins, Tre Jones, and Sidy Cissoko to Chicago and Portland.
