下赛季，马刺队排名前八的得分手都在合同期内，因此在处理内部自由球员方面，他们面临的事务并不多。不过，阵容方面仍然有一些决定需要做出。以下是对马刺队休赛期阵容的逐个球员分析，不包括三名双向合同球员：
圣安东尼奥马刺队的德文·瓦塞尔、维克托·文班亚马和达龙·福克斯在观看他们的队友在圣安东尼奥的 Frost Bank 中心举行的本赛季马刺队与多伦多猛龙队的最后一场比赛中对阵猛龙队，2025 年 4 月 13 日，星期日。
维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama), C
年龄： 21
合同： 两年，3025 万美元
前景： 2 月份，文班亚马的深静脉血栓阻碍了他第一个全明星赛季的进程。他最终仍然以场均 21.4 分、11 个篮板和联盟最高的 2.8 次盖帽结束赛季。如果他没有被限制在 46 场比赛中，他肯定会成为年度最佳防守球员和全 NBA 荣誉的有力竞争者。假设文班亚马完全从血栓问题中恢复过来——马刺队仍然坚定地对此保持乐观——那么他的潜力是无限的。
达龙·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox), G
年龄： 27
合同： 一年，3706 万美元
前景： 这位曾入选全明星的球员在 2 月份的重磅交易中从萨克拉门托来到马刺队，马刺队非常喜欢他在与文班亚马并肩作战的短暂的五场比赛中所展现出的潜力。福克斯在 3 月份接受了左手小指受伤的赛季报销手术，并且今年夏天有资格获得一份为期四年、价值 2.29 亿美元的续约合同。预计马刺队和福克斯将达成长期协议。
克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul), G
年龄： 39
合同： 自由球员
前景： 在这位 12 次入选全明星的球员去年 7 月签署了一份为期一年、价值 1050 万美元的合同后，马刺队从保罗身上得到了应有的回报。保罗不仅参加了所有 82 场比赛并全部首发，他还成为了马刺队大多数年轻球员——包括新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔——的无价导师。下个月将年满 40 岁的保罗表示他渴望打第 21 个 NBA 赛季。但是，如果他仍然坚持要担任首发球员，那么他可能不会留在马刺队。

凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johson), F
年龄： 25
合同： 两年，3500 万美元
前景： 在他第一个完全替补出场的赛季中，约翰逊创造了一项俱乐部纪录——曾由名人堂成员马努·吉诺比利保持——总共获得了 979 分替补得分。约翰逊找到了他作为超级替补的位置，表明他如何成为马刺队下一个季后赛争夺阵容中的重要一员。然而，他极具交易价值的合同很可能会让他的名字暂时出现在交易传闻中。
德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell), G
年龄： 24
合同： 四年，1.027 亿美元
前景： 在去年 6 月接受脚部手术后，瓦塞尔没有得到一个合适的休赛期，他的第五个 NBA 赛季始终未能找到立足点。他场均得到 16.3 分，三分球命中率为 36.8%，这两个数字都是瓦塞尔自二年级赛季以来的最低值。马刺队希望，在拥有一个健康的休赛期之后，瓦塞尔能够找到自己作为文班亚马、福克斯和卡斯尔之外的第四选择的定位。
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle), G
年龄： 20
合同： 三年，3225 万美元
前景： 这位前康涅狄格哈士奇队球员并没有浪费时间来证明马刺队在去年 6 月的选秀中选择他作为第四顺位的正确性，他场均得到 14.7 分和 4.1 次助攻，并为自己赢得了可能成为俱乐部连续第二位年度最佳新秀的机会。作为一名真正的攻守兼备的球员，卡斯尔已经牢固地成为马刺队未来核心的一部分。
哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes), F
年龄： 32
合同： 一年，1900 万美元
前景： 马刺队去年夏天几乎没有付出任何代价就从萨克拉门托引进了巴恩斯，吸收了这位老将前锋，外加一个 2031 年的首轮选秀权互换，以帮助促成国王队与芝加哥队关于德玛尔·德罗赞的交易。巴恩斯在球场上和更衣室里都以各种方式得到了回报。他连续第三个赛季参加了所有 82 场比赛并全部首发，并且在三分球命中率（43.3%）和总三分球命中数（156 个）方面都创下了职业生涯新高。预计巴恩斯下赛季将回到他在马刺队首发阵容中的老位置。
杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan), F
年龄： 21
合同： 一年，795 万美元
前景： 索汉上赛季以马刺队首发控球后卫的身份开始，本赛季以首发前锋兼替补中锋的身份结束。在这期间，马刺队可能发现了他的最佳角色，那就是一个充满活力、防守多样、进攻可有可无的替补球员。索汉今年夏天有资格续约，并且很可能会得到续约合同。
朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie), F
年龄： 23
合同： 两年，600 万美元
前景： 尚帕尼仍然是马刺队更引人入胜的璞玉之一，他于 2023 年 2 月从费城被认领。在效力马刺队的第二个完整赛季中，尚帕尼找到了自己作为板凳席射手的定位，投进了全队最高的 178 个三分球。尚帕尼下赛季的合同要到 8 月 1 日才会得到保障，但考虑到马刺队有能力承担这个价格，他们应该不会有任何问题地执行这份合同。
布雷克·韦斯利(Blake Wesley), G
年龄： 21
合同： 一年，470 万美元
前景： 在马刺队在 2022 年选秀大会首轮末段选中的两名后卫中，韦斯利似乎比马拉基·布兰纳姆更找到了自己的角色。但这并不意味着韦斯利下赛季的位置是安全的。韦斯利已经证明自己是一名顽强的防守者和迅如闪电的突破者。然而，任何涉及将球送入篮筐的事情仍然是一场冒险。随着今年夏天将有更多新血涌入，以两个首轮选秀权的形式出现，像韦斯利和布兰纳姆这样的球员可能会陷入阵容困境，尽管他们拥有保障性合同。
马拉基·布兰纳姆(Malaki Branham), G
年龄： 21
合同： 一年，496 万美元
前景： 布兰纳姆的进步在他的第三个 NBA 赛季停滞不前，他出场 47 场比赛，并且——在他职业生涯中第一次——没有首发。到了三月份，布兰纳姆最终参加了一场 NBA 发展联盟的比赛，只是为了获得一些上场时间。和韦斯利一样，布兰纳姆下赛季仍然有合同在身，但如果需要，马刺队应该很容易交易或放弃他们的薪水，以创造阵容空间。
圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋桑德罗·马穆克拉什维利 (54) 在球队于 2025 年 4 月 13 日星期日在圣安东尼奥的 Frost Bank 中心对阵多伦多猛龙队的上半场比赛中进入暂停时，为他的队友圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋哈里森·巴恩斯 (40) 欢呼。
桑德罗·马穆克拉什维利(Sandro Mamukelashvili), F
年龄： 25
合同： 自由球员
前景： 亲切的“马穆”可能永远不会成为 NBA 球星，甚至不是每个晚上都能进入轮换阵容的球员，但这位来自格鲁吉亚共和国、以团队为导向的大个子是板凳末端球员的完美类型。他偶尔可以进来填补一些空缺，投进一个三分球，并且在他被无限期地放在板凳上时也不会抱怨。马刺队可能会以马穆克拉什维利上赛季的价格（210 万美元）签回他，但如果 Flavor Flav 是球队的总经理，那么他将成为一名顶薪球员。
查尔斯·巴锡(Charles Bassey), C
年龄： 24
合同： 自由球员
前景： 对于巴锡来说，这又是连续第二个失落的赛季，他一年多以前遭受了前交叉韧带撕裂的伤病，并且由于各种其他疾病，他被限制在 36 场比赛中。由于马刺队几乎肯定会在今年夏天寻找文班亚马身后的中锋位置的升级人选，巴锡与球队的缘分可能已经结束。

俾斯麦·比永博(Bismack Biyombo), C
年龄： 32
合同： 自由球员
前景： 比永博在 2 月份签下了一份为期 10 天的合同，以帮助文班亚马身后的阵容深度，然后在这位法国球星赛季报销后最终首发了 26 场比赛。比永博去年夏天成为自由球员时并没有赢得 NBA 合同，所以除非马刺队选择以老将合同签回他，否则他的职业生涯可能已经结束。
乔丹·麦克劳克林(Jordan McLaughlin), G
年龄： 29
合同： 自由球员
前景： 麦克劳克林是福克斯交易中萨克拉门托队附带的筹码，他在马刺队仅出场 18 次垃圾时间。他不太可能回归。

Spurs’ roster breakdown: Who stays? Who goes?
With their top eight scorers under contract for next season, the Spurs don’t have an overwhelming amount of business to take care of when it comes to internal free agents. Still, there are decisions to be made across the roster. Here is a player-by-player analysis of the Spurs’ roster heading into the offseason, excluding three players on two-way contracts:
San Antonio Spurs’ Devin Vassell, from left, Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox chat as they watch their teammates take on the Toronto Raptors in the Spurs’ last game of the season at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Sunday, April 13, 2025.
Victor Wembanyama, C
Age: 21
Contract: Two years, $30.25 million
Outlook: A bout of deep vein thrombosis cut short Wembanyama’s first All-Star season in February. He still finished with averages of 21.4 points, 11 rebounds and a league-high 2.8 blocks and would have been a shoo-in for Defensive Player of the Year and All-NBA honors had he not been limited to 46 games. Assuming Wembanyama fully recovers from his blood clot issue – and the Spurs remain adamantly optimistic he will – the stratosphere remains the limit.
De’Aaron Fox, G
Age: 27
Contract: One year, $37.06 million
Outlook: The one-time All-Star arrived from Sacramento in a blockbuster February trade, and the Spurs loved what they saw in the woefully short five-game sample size he spent alongside Wembanyama. Fox underwent season-ending surgery on his injured left pinkie in March, and is eligible for a four-year, $229-million extension this summer. Expect the Spurs and Fox to reach a long-term agreement.
Chris Paul, G
Age: 39.
Contract: Free agent.
Outlook: The Spurs got their money’s worth from Paul after the 12-time All-Star signed a one-year, $10.5 million deal last July. Not only did Paul appear in and start all 82 games, he became a priceless mentor to most of the Spurs’ young roster – including rookie Stephon Castle. Set to turn 40 next month, Paul has indicated his desire to play a 21st NBA season. If he remains set on being a starter, however, it probably won’t be with the Spurs.

Keldon Johson, F
Age: 25
Contract: Two years, $35 million
Outlook: In his first full season coming off the bench, Johnson set a club record – once held by Hall of Famer Manu Ginobili – by totaling 979 reserve points. Having found his fit as a super-sub, Johnson showed how he could be a significant piece on the next playoff-contending iteration of the Spurs. His extremely tradeable contract, however, is apt to keep his name in trade rumors for the time being.
Devin Vassell, G
Age: 24
Contract: Four years, $102.7 million
Outlook: Robbed of a proper offseason after undergoing foot surgery last June, Vassell’s fifth NBA season never quite found its footing. He averaged 16.3 points and shot 36.8% from 3-point range, both numbers Vassell’s lowest since his sophomore campaign. The Spurs hope with a healthy offseason ahead, Vassell will be able to find his niche as a fourth option beside Wembanyama, Fox and Castle.
Stephon Castle, G
Age: 20
Contract: Three years, $32.25 million
Outlook: The former Connecticut Husky wasted little time proving the Spurs right for taking him fourth overall in last June’s draft, averaging 14.7 points and 4.1 assists while putting positioning himself to possibly become the club’s second consecutive Rookie of the Year winner. A bona fide two-way player, Castle is cemented as a part of the Spurs’ future core.
Harrison Barnes, F
Age: 32
Contract: One year, $19 million
Outlook: The Spurs acquired Barnes from Sacramento last summer for practically nothing, absorbing the veteran forward plus a 2031 first-round pick swap to help facilitate the Kings’ deal with Chicago for DeMar DeRozan. Barnes paid off every way imaginable, on the floor and in the locker room. He played and started in 82 games for the third consecutive season, and set career highs in 3-point percentage (43.3%) and total 3-pointers made (156). Expect Barnes back in his usual spot in the Spurs’ starting lineup next season.
Jeremy Sochan, F
Age: 21
Contract: One year, $7.95 million
Outlook: Sochan began last season as the Spurs’ starting point guard and ended this season as a starting forward-slash-backup center. In between, the Spurs might have discovered the best role for him as a high-energy, defensively versatile, offense-optional reserve piece. Sochan is eligible for an extension this summer and just might get it.
Julian Champagnie, F
Age: 23
Contract: Two years, $6 million
Outlook: Champagnie remains one of the Spurs’ more intriguing diamond-in-the-rough finds, having been claimed off waivers from Philadelphia in February 2023. In his second full season with the Spurs, Champagnie found his niche as a bench shooter, making a team-best 178 3-pointers. Champagnie’s deal for next season does not become guaranteed until Aug. 1, but comes at a price tag the Spurs will have no issue picking up.
Blake Wesley, G
Age: 21
Contract: One year, $4.7 million
Outlook: Of the two guards the Spurs selected in the bottom third of the first round of the 2022 draft, Wesley seems to have found his role more than Malaki Branham. That is not to say Wesley’s place on next season’s roster is safe. Wesley has demonstrated himself to be a dogged defender and lightning-quick penetrator. Anything involving putting the ball in the basket, however, remains an adventure. With new blood set to arrive this summer in the form of two more first-round picks, players like Wesley and Branham could get caught in a roster crunch despite guaranteed money.
Malaki Branham, G
Age: 21
Contract: One year, $4.96 million
Outlook: Branham’s development stalled in his third NBA season, as he appeared in 47 games and – for the first time in his career – started none. By March, Branham wound up in the G League for a game just to garner some minutes. Like Wesley, Branham remains under contract next season but the Spurs should have little trouble trading or waiving their salaries to create roster room if needed.
San Antonio Spurs forward Sandro Mamukelashvili (54) hypes up his teammate San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes (40) as the team goes into a timeout during the first half against the Toronto Raptors at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Sunday, April 13, 2025.
Sandro Mamukelashvili, F
Age: 25
Contract: Free agent
Outlook: The affable “Mamu” might never emerge as an NBA star or even an every-night rotation player, but the team-oriented big man from the Republic of Georgia is the perfect type of player for the end of the bench. He can occasionally come in and plug some holes, hit a 3-pointer and not complain when he takes a string of DNPs. The Spurs would probably take Mamukelashvili back at last season’s price tag ($2.1 million), though he would be a max player if Flavor Flav was the team’s general manager.
Charles Bassey, C
Age: 24
Contract: Free agent
Outlook: It was a second consecutive lost season for Bassey, who a year removed from an ACL tear was limited to 36 games due to a variety of other ailments. With the Spurs almost certainly looking to upgrade the center position behind Wembanyama this summer, Bassey’s time with the team could be over.

Bismack Biyombo, C
Age: 32
Contract: Free agent
Outlook: Biyombo signed a 10-day deal in February to help with depth behind Wembanyama, then ended up starting 26 games after the star Frenchman was lost for the season. Biyombo did not earn an NBA deal when he was a free agent last summer so unless the Spurs opt to bring him back on a veteran contract, his career might be done.
Jordan McLaughlin, G
Age: 29
Contract: Free agent
Outlook: A throw-in from Sacramento in the Fox trade, McLaughlin was limited to 18 garbage-time appearances with the Spurs. He is unlikely to be back.
