Latest news and updates about the Spurs
As far as rebuilds go, the Spurs have managed a relatively quick turnaround. From tearing things down to the studs in 2023, to reaching legitimate contender status, it’s been a quick three years. Currently, San Antonio sits poised and firmly cemented in the two seed of the Western Conference, on a 58-win pace, which would […]
How was the All-Star Weekend? As per always, I watched none of it. The only thing I really saw was an in-game dunk by Jaxson Hayes during the Slam Dunk Contest. Admittedly, I kind of loved that this was the moment that went viral. In a way, it exposed the shallowness of what the All-Star Weekend […]
The San Antonio Spurs “home stretch” of the Rodeo Road Trip in Austin kicked off with a bang. The Spurs secured a 121-94 victory over the Phoenix Suns. The Spurs were locked in defensively while playing an even offensive game. Six members of the Silver and Black scored in double digits, and 30 of San […]
Even All-Stars can be awe-struck by moments with all-time greats. That’s what happened with Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox on Sunday afternoon during the NBA All-Star Game in an event that, gimmicky or not, turned out to be much more exciting than past iterations and produced the best viewer ratings since 2011. The round-robin tournament, with […]
The music was bumping, the crowd leaned forward and the fiesta-themed jerseys once again felt right at home in a city that prides itself on keeping things weird.

The Suns were missing their emotional leader in Dillon Brooks, who was suspended for tonight’s game after committing 16 technical fouls before the All Star Break.

After the rumors of a potential trade before the deadline, Jeremy Sochan’s time in San Antonio ended with even less fanfare than expected. Sochan was bought out and joined the Knicks, and the Spurs used their open roster spot to sign Mason Plumlee to bolster their center depth. It was a banal ending to what […]
The first San Antonio Spurs game I ever attended was in 1985. The Spurs were hosting the Denver Nuggets at HemisFair Arena. My parents took my brother and I to the game and after we stuck around to get autographs. We both came home with pages signed by members of both teams. Among the dozen […]
In last summer’s NBA Draft, Cooper Flagg went first to Dallas, Rutgers’ Dylan Harper second to San Antonio, Baylor’s V.J. Edgecombe third to Philly and Flagg’s Duke teammate Kon Knueppel fourth to Charlotte. In retrospect, San Antonio might have made a mistake. He would have been a great fit with Victor Wembanyama and more importantly, […]

After the 126-113 road win at the home of the Golden State Warriors last week, I spent most of the two hour public transit ride home flipping back and forth between these two views of the standings: ESPN’s overall league standings: ESPN Conference standings: The best thing about this successful season is that there are […]
