2025年1月31日，在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥的霜岸中心，圣安东尼奥马刺队中锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) (1号) 在球队以144-118战胜密尔沃基雄鹿队后走下球场。
对于马刺队的维克托·文班亚马而言，2024-25赛季将永远充满了“本可以”的遗憾。
这位21岁的冉冉升起的超级巨星，其第二个NBA赛季因右肩深静脉血栓而在全明星周末后戛然而止。马刺队冲击西部季后赛附加赛席位的萌芽计划也随之破灭。
对文班亚马来说，弥补失去的时光将从……好吧，不是现在，但很快就会开始。
准确地说，是10月22日。
NBA于周四正式公布了2025-26赛季的赛程，为马刺和文班亚马的救赎之旅提供了一份精确的路线图。
首先，是一场与老对手的赛季揭幕战。以下是这场比赛以及其他几场值得你用红笔圈出的重点对决的简要介绍：
赛季揭幕战：10月22日 客场对阵达拉斯
在拥有文班亚马的三个赛季里，马刺将第三次与州内死敌达拉斯独行侠队拉开赛季序幕。而本赛季的揭幕战将连续第二年在美航中心球馆举行。
今年的揭幕夜还额外增加了一大看点：六月选秀大会的状元和榜眼将同场竞技——他们分别是独行侠队的库珀·弗拉格 (Cooper Flagg) 和马刺队的迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)。
主场揭幕战：10月26日 主场迎战布鲁克林
在以两场客场之旅开启新赛季后，马刺将在一个周日下午场比赛中，于霜岸中心迎来主场赛程的首个对手——篮网队。
马刺的主场首秀堪称一出双响炮。球队将在第二天晚上重返霜岸中心，迎战另一支东部弱旅多伦多猛龙队，完成主场揭幕的背靠背比赛。
NBA杯开赛：11月7日 主场迎战休斯顿
第三届NBA季中锦标赛，即阿联酋航空杯，将于11月开打。马刺队将在11月7日主场对阵休斯顿的比赛中开启小组赛征程。其他列入赛程的阿联酋航空杯比赛包括：11月14日主场对阵斯蒂芬·库里 (Stephen Curry) 领衔的金州勇士队，以及在感恩节前后进行的两场客场比赛——11月26日客战波特兰和11月28日客战丹佛。

冠军驾临：12月23日 主场迎战俄克拉荷马城
新科NBA总冠军俄克拉荷马城雷霆队，以及队中新科NBA最有价值球员谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大，将在圣诞节前首次造访圣安东尼奥。这场对决无疑将成为两天后圣诞大餐前的一道开胃大菜。说到这个……
圣诞大战重演：12月25日 客场挑战OKC
马刺队连续第二个赛季入选NBA年度圣诞大战盛宴，他们将与总冠军雷霆队上演一场全美直播的重赛，而这次的战场将移师俄克拉荷马城。
去年的圣诞节对文班亚马来说，堪称一场全国性的正名之战，他在客场挑战纽约的比赛中狂砍42分、18个篮板和4次盖帽，尽管球队最终以114-117惜败，但过程惊心动魄。说到尼克斯……
跨年夜盛宴：12月31日 主场迎战纽约
当今年的跨年夜钟声在“大苹果城”敲响时，尼克斯队将在圣安东尼奥。马刺队将在主场与这支曾在2024年圣诞节“扫兴”的尼克斯队一同告别2025年。
比赛将于下午6点在霜岸中心开球，球迷们应该有充足的时间回家，赶上开香槟、唱《友谊地久天长》的跨年时刻。

詹皇驾到：1月7日 主场迎战洛杉矶湖人
湖人队超级巨星勒布朗·詹姆斯将在造访霜岸中心一周多后迎来他的41岁生日。他的第23个NBA赛季很有可能就是他的最后一个赛季。
对于圣安东尼奥的球迷来说，这场比赛可能是为詹皇欢呼（或喝倒彩）的最后机会之一。
扬尼斯 vs. 文班，第四回合：1月15日 主场迎战密尔沃基
似乎每当文班亚马与雄鹿队的巨星扬尼斯·阿德托昆博 (Giannis Antetokounmpo) 同场竞技时，总会发生一些超乎想象的事情。马刺球迷将有机会在雄鹿队本赛季唯一一次造访霜岸中心时，再次见证这两位巨星的碰撞。
2025年1月31日，在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥的霜岸中心，圣安东尼奥马刺队中锋维克托·文班亚马 (1号) 与密尔沃基雄鹿队前锋扬尼斯·阿德托昆博 (34号) 在下半场比赛中对抗。马刺队以144-118击败雄鹿队。
又到牛仔竞技之旅：2月10日至3月3日
根据马刺与霜岸中心的租赁协议，“圣安东尼奥牛仔牲畜展与竞技节”将在二月和三月初占据场馆超过三周的时间。按照惯例，马刺队将利用这段时间深入了解美国的每一个角落。
今年的牛仔竞技之旅始于2月10日客场对阵洛杉矶湖人和2月11日客场对阵金州勇士的背靠背比赛，随后将迎来全明星周末的间歇期。回归后，马刺将在奥斯汀的穆迪中心进行两场名义上的主场比赛，分别是2月19日对阵菲尼克斯和2月21日对阵萨克拉门托，最后以客场对阵底特律、多伦多、布鲁克林、纽约和费城的比赛结束这段漫长的客场之旅。
说到我们在奥斯汀的邻居……
马刺再临穆迪中心：2月19日对阵菲尼克斯，2月21日对阵萨克拉门托
如上所述，马刺将延续近年来的传统，在奥斯汀的德克萨斯大学校园内进行两场“主场”比赛。与去年一样，今年的奥斯汀之行将有助于缩短原本会更漫长的牛仔竞技之旅。
菲尼克斯太阳队将成为首支两次在奥斯汀与马刺交手的球队，他们上赛季曾在此地以109-120不敌马刺。而国王队则将迎来他们在穆迪中心的首秀。
关键的收官冲刺：3月16日至4月12日
马刺队带着冲击季后赛的希望、憧憬与乐观进入文班亚马的第三个赛季。而赛季的最后一个月可能会决定这一目标的成败。
尽管到三月中旬，牛仔竞技表演中的马匹和公牛早已撤离霜岸中心，但马刺队将从3月16日客场挑战洛杉矶快船开始，踏上一段堪称“迷你牛仔客场之旅”的征程。从那场比赛算起，马刺将在一段关键赛程的11场比赛中面临8个客场。
如果马刺能够挺过这段艰难时期，那么喘息的机会将在赛季的最后一周到来。马刺队将以一波连续四个主场比赛结束常规赛，对手分别是费城、波特兰、达拉斯和丹佛。
与独行侠的常规揭幕战、一场圣诞大战盛宴以及再次在奥斯汀进行的两场比赛，是马刺队2025-26赛季NBA赛程中的几大亮点。

Circle these dates on the San Antonio Spurs’ 2025-26 schedule
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (1) walks off the court following a 144-118 win over the Milwaukee Bucks at Frost Bank Center on Friday, Jan. 31, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas.
For the Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama, the 2024-25 NBA season will always be about what might have been.
The 21-year-old burgeoning superstar saw his second NBA campaign end far too prematurely, scuttled after the All-Star break due to a case of deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder. The Spurs’ fledgling plans of competing for at least a Western Conference play-in berth were scuttled as well.
For Wembanyama, the making up for lost time starts … well, not now. But soon.
Oct. 22, to be exact.
The NBA formally unveiled its 2025-26 schedule Thursday, offering the Spurs and Wembanyama a precise road map for what they hope will be a redemption tour.
First up, a season opener against an all-too-familiar foe. Here is the skinny on that game, plus several others to circle in red ink as the new campaign approaches:
Season-opener: Oct. 22 at Dallas
For the third time in as many seasons with Wembanyama on the roster, the Spurs will tip things off against the intrastate rival Dallas Mavericks. For the second year in a row, this season’s curtain-raiser will take place at the American Airlines Center.
This year’s opening night boasts the bonus of featuring the top two picks in the June draft: Dallas’ Cooper Flagg and the Spurs’ Dylan Harper.
Home opener: Oct. 26 vs. Brooklyn
After starting the season on a two-game road trip, the Spurs open the home portion of their schedule with a Sunday afternoon matinee at the Frost Bank Center against the Nets.
The Spurs’ home debut amounts to something of a double shot. The team returns to the Frost Bank Center the following night to cap a home-opening back-to-back against another Eastern Conference cream puff, the Toronto Raptors.
NBA Cup tipoff: Nov. 7 vs. Houston
The NBA’s third annual in-season tournament, called the Emirates Cup, starts play in November. The Spurs begin group stage play with a Nov. 7 home game against Houston. Other Emirates Cup games on the docket include a Nov. 14 home game against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, plus road games on Nov. 26 at Portland and Nov. 28 at Denver that bookend Thanksgiving.

The champs arrive: Dec. 23 vs. Oklahoma City
The newly minted NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder, featuring newly minted NBA Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, make their first trip to San Antonio in a pre-Christmas meeting that should prove quite the appetizer for the Christmas feast to come two days later. Speaking of which …
A Christmas Day rematch: Dec. 25 at OKC
For the second consecutive season, the Spurs have been chosen to take part in the NBA’s annual Christmas Day showcase with a nationally televised rematch against the champs, this time in Oklahoma City.
Last Christmas proved something of a national coming-out party for Wembanyama, who exploded for 42 points, 18 rebounds and four blocks in a narrow-but-thrilling 117-114 loss at New York. Speaking of the Knicks …
New Year’s Eve extravaganza: Dec. 31 vs. New York
As the New Year’s Eve ball drops in the Big Apple this year, the Knicks will be in San Antonio. The Spurs will ring out 2025 at home against the Knicks squad that ruined Christmas 2024.
With a 6 p.m. tip at the Frost Bank Center, there should be plenty of time for fans to get home in time to pop champagne and sing “Auld Lang Syne.”

The king comes to town: Jan. 7 vs. Los Angeles Lakers
Lakers’ superstar LeBron James will turn 41 a little more than a week before this visit to the Frost Bank Center. His 23rd NBA season certainly could be his last.
For fans in San Antonio, this game could mark one of the final chances to cheer (or jeer) King James.
Giannis vs. Wemby, Round 4: Jan. 15 vs. Milwaukee
It seems whenever Wembanyama shares the floor with Bucks sensation Giannis Antetokounmpo, something out of this world happens. Spurs fans will have the opportunity to see the stars collide again in Milwaukee’s only visit to the Frost Bank Center of the season.
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (1) and Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34) play against each other in the second half at Frost Bank Center on Friday, Jan. 31, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas. The Spurs defeated the Bucks 144-118.
Let’s rodeo (again): Rodeo Road Trip, Feb. 10-March 3
As per the Spurs’ Frost Bank Center lease agreement, the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo gets the run of the place for a little more than three weeks in February and early March. As is the custom, the Spurs will spend that time getting to know every nook and cranny of these United States.
This year’s rodeo trip begins with a back-to-back at the Los Angeles Lakers on Feb. 10 and at Golden State on Feb. 11, before bumping into the All-Star break. The Spurs return for a pair of what are technically considered home games at the Moody Center in Austin, Feb. 19 against Phoenix and Feb. 21 against Sacramento, then finish the Rodeo Road Trip with games at Detroit, Toronto, Brooklyn, New York and Philadelphia.
Speaking of our neighbors in Austin …
Spurs get Moody (again): Feb. 19 vs. Phoenix, Feb. 21 vs. Sacramento
As mentioned above, the Spurs are set to continue what has become an annual tradition with a pair of “home” games on the campus of the University of Texas just up the road in Austin. Like last year, this year’s visit to the Moody Center stands to break up what otherwise would be a longer rodeo trip.
Phoenix will become the first Spurs opponent to play twice in Austin, having dropped a 120-109 decision to there last season. The Kings will be making their Moody Center debut.
The crucial closing kick: March 16-April 12
The Spurs enter Wembanyama’s third season with an eye toward possibly, hopefully, optimistically contending for the playoffs. The final month of the season could make or break that push.
Though the broncs and bulls will have long since vacated the Frost Bank Center by mid-March, the Spurs will embark on what might feel like a mini-rodeo trip beginning March 16 at the Los Angeles Clippers. Starting with that game, the Spurs will face eight of 11 games during a crucial stretch on the road.
If the Spurs are able to endure that, respite comes the final week of the season. The Spurs close the regular season with a four-game homestand against Philadelphia, Portland, Dallas, and Denver.
A familiar opener with the Mavericks, a Christmas Day showcase and two more Austin games highlight the Spurs’ 2025-26 NBA schedule.
