Initially, expectations were for progress &mdash; driven by the natural development of Victor Wembanyama and the arrival of several offseason reinforcements. That improvement did come, and it intensified in December, when the team began fighting for a spot in the Play-In Tournament.<\/p><p>However, Wembanyama&rsquo;s progress was so remarkable that the franchise seized a market opportunity to accelerate its rebuild. They acquired De&rsquo;Aaron Fox via a trade with the Sacramento Kings, forming a promising new duo. But after just five games together, their partnership came to an abrupt halt.<\/p><p>The French star, who was averaging 24.3 points, 11 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and an incredible 3.8 blocks per game, was diagnosed with a blood clot in his shoulder. Up to that point, he had been the frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year and even ranked in the top 10 of the MVP race. He was forced to step away from basketball entirely to focus on recovery, missing the final 30 games of the season.<\/p><p>Shortly after, Fox also went down with an injury. After 17 games with San Antonio, he underwent finger surgery and missed the remainder of the year. With both stars sidelined, the team fell out of Play-In contention and shifted its focus to giving younger players more minutes.<\/p><p>One of the brightest spots was rookie guard Stephon Castle, the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. He shined in his first professional season and went on to win Rookie of the Year, making it the second straight season a Spurs player earned the honor.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&ldquo;Maybe I turned down a shot I could make with my eyes closed, but that was to get one of my teammates a shot he could make in his sleep.&rdquo;<br><br>Wemby (9p, 10r, 7a, 3b) was the ultimate team player during San Antonio's preseason opener last night!<br><br>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/spurs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@spurs<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Tb2iOt2JdG\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/Tb2iOt2JdG<\/a><\/p>&mdash; NBA (@NBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA\/status\/1975671247569887535?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>October 7, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spurs Avoid Big Names and Continue Their Rebuild<\/h2><p>Despite rumors suggesting a more aggressive approach in the offseason, the Spurs chose to stay patient, making only selective additions. Early on, San Antonio was rumored to be a potential destination for Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo.<\/p><p>However, the team made no real push for Durant, who was eventually traded to the Houston Rockets. Giannis, meanwhile, was never truly available and remains with the Milwaukee Bucks. The Spurs&rsquo; biggest addition ultimately came through the Draft.<\/p><p>Landing the second overall pick, the franchise selected Dylan Harper, son of former NBA guard Ron Harper, a five-time champion. The 19-year-old is one of the most talented prospects in the class &mdash; physically gifted, explosive at the rim, and a capable playmaker.<\/p><p>Harper had long been projected as the near-consensus No. 2 pick, and even though San Antonio already had strong options at the guard position, the team didn&rsquo;t hesitate to select him.<\/p><p>With the 14th pick, the Spurs also added a forward out of Arizona, a long-term project who should see limited minutes early on but could carve out a role thanks to his defensive upside.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">30 teams in 30 days: San Antonio Spurs <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2JjV5lEcq5\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/2JjV5lEcq5<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Underdog NBA (@UnderdogNBA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UnderdogNBA\/status\/1975593208408326250?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>October 7, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>In free agency, the Spurs signed center Luke Kornet to a four-year, $41 million deal. The 30-year-old veteran arrives after solid seasons with the Boston Celtics and is expected to serve as Wembanyama&rsquo;s primary backup. He&rsquo;s a reliable rim protector and pick-and-roll partner for the team&rsquo;s ball handlers.<\/p><p>Kelly Olynyk also joined the frontcourt rotation via a trade with the Washington Wizards, bringing shooting versatility to the offense. Finally, the Spurs secured a four-year, $229 million max extension for De&rsquo;Aaron Fox, a major investment in the 27-year-old guard, who will now be tasked with developing chemistry with the French superstar.<\/p><p>Among the departures, the most notable was Chris Paul, who played in all 82 games last season and led the team with 7.4 assists per game. A free agent, he chose to return to the Los Angeles Clippers. Other departures included Malaki Branham (to the Wizards), Sandro Mamukelashvili (to the Raptors), and Blake Wesley (to the Trail Blazers).<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Far Can Wembanyama Take the Team?<\/h2><p>For the first time in 30 years, the Spurs will begin a season without Gregg Popovich on the sidelines. One of the greatest coaches in basketball history, Popovich &mdash; who led the team to five championships &mdash; officially retired in May 2025 after suffering a stroke the previous November.<\/p><p>Still, at 76 years old, Pop will remain heavily involved as the team&rsquo;s President of Basketball Operations. Instead of hiring an outsider, the Spurs promoted longtime assistant Mitch Johnson, who had spent over a decade on Popovich&rsquo;s staff. At 38 years old, Johnson becomes the third-youngest head coach in the NBA, behind only Joe Mazzulla (Celtics) and Will Hardy (Jazz) &mdash; both former Popovich assistants themselves.<\/p><p>Popovich&rsquo;s presence will obviously be missed, but there&rsquo;s no one better to carry on his legacy than the man who&rsquo;s been by his side for years. Johnson&rsquo;s first big test? Figuring out how to maximize the minutes of Fox, Castle, and Harper.<\/p><p>All three guards have undeniable talent, but they share a common weakness &mdash; poor three-point shooting. Since Harper&rsquo;s arrival, analysts have debated how these pieces will fit together. Fox&rsquo;s new max deal ensures his starting role. Castle is already a defensive anchor familiar with the system, meaning the rookie Harper will likely start off the bench.<\/p><p>Beyond those questions, expectations are for a clear step forward in 2025&ndash;26. Fully healthy again, Wembanyama is ready for his third NBA season &mdash; and if his upward trajectory continues, he&rsquo;s likely headed for an All-NBA First Team selection. Last season, the Spurs were +2.6 points per 100 possessions with Wemby on the floor, compared to -6.1 when he sat.<\/p><p>This season will also be crucial for the Spurs to evaluate their young supporting core. Devin Vassell (25) is entering the first year of a $27 million annual salary but is coming off a dip in performance compared to 2023&ndash;24. Keldon Johnson, a bit older, is in the penultimate year of his deal and must improve his perimeter shooting to prove he can be the team&rsquo;s ideal sixth man.<\/p><p>Meanwhile, Jeremy Sochan is entering the final year of his rookie contract and could become a restricted free agent next summer. Given how tricky that position can be &mdash; as seen with players like Cam Thomas, Josh Giddey, Jonathan Kuminga, and Quentin Grimes &mdash; he&rsquo;ll need to boost his production to earn a lucrative extension.<\/p><p>Despite those questions, San Antonio heads into 2025&ndash;26 with a balanced roster. If its core players stay healthy, the Spurs should comfortably land in Play-In territory and could even fight for a direct playoff berth, depending on Wembanyama&rsquo;s performance.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Castle Looks to Build on Rookie-Year Success<\/h2><p>Stephon Castle&rsquo;s rookie campaign began quietly but ended with him taking on a far bigger role than he&rsquo;ll likely have in 2025&ndash;26. His usage rate &mdash; an advanced stat measuring the percentage of team possessions a player finishes with a shot, turnover, or drawn foul &mdash; illustrates that shift clearly.<\/p><p>Before the All-Star break, Castle&rsquo;s usage sat at 23.5%, ranking third on the team after Fox&rsquo;s arrival. After the break &mdash; with both Fox and Wembanyama sidelined &mdash; it jumped to 28%, comparable to Nikola Joki&#263;&rsquo;s workload in Denver.<\/p><p>Naturally, Castle&rsquo;s offensive production spiked during that stretch. But with the stars returning, his on-ball opportunities will decline. The young guard showed promise as a primary creator, but now he&rsquo;ll need to develop his off-ball game, especially cutting to the basket and three-point shooting, to maintain his offensive impact.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Fox&ndash;Wembanyama Pick-and-Roll Could Be Deadly<\/h2><p>Analyzing the Spurs&rsquo; 2024&ndash;25 stats is tricky due to the injury chaos, but one specific area stands out as a potential game-changer: the pick-and-roll.<\/p><p>Largely thanks to Wembanyama&rsquo;s presence, San Antonio ranked sixth in the NBA in possessions where the screener (usually the big man) finished the play, averaging 1.15 points per possession &mdash; just behind the Denver Nuggets (1.20), led by Joki&#263;.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The San Antonio Spurs see De&rsquo;Aaron Fox as Victor Wembanyama running mate going forward, per <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WindhorstESPN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@WindhorstESPN<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/y4NDSF35uv\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/y4NDSF35uv<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Fullcourtpass (@Fullcourtpass) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Fullcourtpass\/status\/1965507526029611480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>September 9, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>However, when the ball handler finished the pick-and-roll (usually the guard), the Spurs ranked ninth-worst in the league, with only 0.84 points per possession.<\/p><p>That&rsquo;s where De&rsquo;Aaron Fox changes everything.
