马刺队正联手NBA及其在德州的另外两支球队，援助遭受洪灾的丘陵地区。
在周一发布的一份声明中，联盟表示将与NBA球员工会（NBA Players Association）、达拉斯独行侠队（Dallas Mavericks）、休斯顿火箭队（Houston Rockets）以及马刺队联手，提供超过200万美元，以“支持对受灾最严重人群的即时和长期援助”。
在德州爆发的山洪，包括瓜达卢佩河（Guadalupe River）沿岸的洪灾，已在独立日假期周末造成逾百人死亡，另有多人失踪，其中包括在亨特市（Hunt）的河畔基督教营地——神秘营地（Camp Mystic）就读的女孩们。
NBA表示：“NBA大家庭对生命逝去以及德州丘陵地区洪灾造成的破坏深感痛心。我们心系所有受这场悲剧影响的人们，并向英勇的急救人员和志愿者致以最深切的谢意。”
“在如此巨大的悲痛之中，我们被德州社区在这一极其艰难时刻所展现出的团结力量所鼓舞。”
NBA、球员工会和各球队此次的资金投入，与他们此前在尤瓦尔迪（Uvalde）罗布小学（Robb Elementary School）发生大规模枪击事件后开展的救援行动类似。
马刺队因在2022年5月24日导致19名儿童和2名教师遇难的悲剧发生后，帮助尤瓦尔迪社区走出悲痛，于2023年在ESPY颁奖礼（年度体育表现奖）上被评为ESPN年度体育人道主义团队（ESPN’s Sports Humanitarian Team of the Year）。
ESPN在一份声明中表示：“马刺队工作人员迄今已在尤瓦尔迪累计志愿服务超过700小时，分发了超过1500张免费门票，向青少年篮球队捐赠了体育器材，并筹集了超过100万美元资金，致力于在未来多年内扶助和支持该社区。”
NBA并非唯一援助洪灾受害者的体育联盟。
NFL宣布，NFL基金会（NFL Foundation）、达拉斯牛仔队（Dallas Cowboys）和休斯顿德州人队（Houston Texans）正联合捐款150万美元，用于“向受到7月4日突发洪灾影响的德州中部社区提供即时援助和长期恢复资源”。

NBA teaming with Spurs, other Texas teams to aid Hill Country
The Spurs are teaming with the NBA and its two other Texas franchises to assist the flood-ravaged Hill Country.
In a statement released Monday, the league said it would join the NBA Players Association, the Dallas Mavericks, the Houston Rockets and the Spurs to provide more than $2 million to “support immediate and long-term relief to those most impacted.”
Flash floods in Texas, including along the Guadalupe River, killed more than 100 people over the Fourth of July holiday weekend and left others still missing, including girls attending Camp Mystic, a riverside Christian camp in Hunt.
“The NBA family is heartbroken by the loss of life and the devastation caused by the flooding across the Texas Hill Country,” the NBA said. "Our thoughts are with all those affected by this tragedy and we extend our deepest gratitude to the heroic first responders and volunteers.
“Amid so much sorrow, we are inspired by the strength of the Texas community as it comes together during this incredibly difficult time.”
The financial commitment by the NBA, the union and the teams is similar to the relief efforts they mounted after the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.
The Spurs were named ESPN’s Sports Humanitarian Team of the Year in 2023 during The ESPYs (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Award) for helping the Uvalde community heal after the tragedy that left 19 children and two teachers dead on May 24, 2022.
“The Spurs staff has volunteered more than 700 hours in Uvalde to date, distributed more than 1,500 free tickets, donated sports equipment to youth basketball teams and have raised more than $1 million in funds committed to uplifting and supporting the community for many years to come,” ESPN said in a statment.
The NBA isn’t the only sports league assisting the flood victims.
The NFL Foundation, the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans are combining to contribute $1.5 million toward “immediate assistance and long-term recovery resources for Central Texas communities” impacted by the flash flooding that occurred on July 4, the NFL announced.
