Spurs announce opening-night roster for the 2026/27 season

The San Antonio Spurs have finalized their opening-night roster for the 2026/27 NBA season, maintaining a core group of 14 standard contracts while leaving one roster spot intentionally vacant. The team’s lineup includes established stars like Victor Wembanyama, De’Aaron Fox, and Tobias Harris, alongside rising talents such as Jayden Quaintance and Carter Bryant.

The Spurs also activated three two-way contracts for David Jones-Garcia, Maliq Brown, and Ja’Kobi Gillespie, both recent draft picks and a player who excelled in last year’s Summer League. The decision to preserve a roster spot reflects the team’s cautious approach to cap management, prioritizing flexibility for potential trades or signings later in the season.

With a deep bench and a mix of youth and experience, the Spurs aim to build on their 62-win campaign from last year, which included a deep playoff run culminating in an NBA Finals appearance. Their season opener will be a home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on October 20th, marking a high-stakes return for both teams after their Conference Finals clash in 2026.
