2026年2月19日（周四）晚，圣安东尼奥马刺队在奥斯汀穆迪中心举行的两场“I-35系列赛”的首场比赛中对阵菲尼克斯太阳队。第三节比赛中，马刺队前锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) (1) 寻求传球给后卫达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) (4)。
奥斯汀讯——在过去的10天里，NBA宣布其电视合作伙伴计划增加对马刺队另外五场比赛的全美直播。
对于渴望看到球队在经历多年来最佳赛季之际获得更多媒体关注的马刺球迷来说，这无疑是个好消息。
“我们彻底回来了，”上周，名为 @aggiefood 的用户在 X 上写道。
但对于球员们来说，这些公告基本上没有引起太多注意。
“老实说，我甚至都不知道。我想如果你问我们中的很多人，大家也都不知道，”在被问及 ESPN 和 NBC 等电视巨头增加转播场次时，前锋朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 说道。
“但这很酷。能被重点报道很酷，”在为周六晚上于穆迪中心对阵萨克拉门托国王队的比赛做准备的投篮训练结束后，尚帕尼补充道。“这让我们意识到自己做对了一些事情。但其实也没那么重要。有没有电视直播，目标都是再拿下一场胜利（W），这才是全部目标。”
自2月11日以来，NBA已宣布以下主场比赛已被其电视版权持有者选中进行转播：
- 3月10日，波士顿，NBC/Peacock
- 3月14日，夏洛特，Amazon Prime
- 3月23日，迈阿密，NBC/Peacock
- 3月30日，芝加哥，Peacock
- 4月8日，波特兰，ESPN
马刺队表示，所有五场比赛仍将在 FanDuel Sports Network 进行本地电视转播。
随着基石型天才文班亚马作为球队门面，马刺队在赛季开始时就有22场比赛被安排在全美电视直播。但随着文班亚马及其队友们的表现如此出色——在进入周六的比赛前，他们以39胜16负的战绩排名西部第二——目前总共额外增加了七场全美直播赛事。
与尚帕尼一样，中锋卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 也没注意到转播计划的变化。最后一次变动是在周五宣布的，此前马刺队于周四晚上在奥斯汀以121-94大胜太阳队，豪取七连胜。
“这只是对我们目前取得成功的某种证明，”科内特说道。
这位征战联盟九年的老兵对全美直播并不陌生，他在波士顿凯尔特人队这样一支备受瞩目的球队效力一段时间后，于去年夏天签约马刺。他认为，在全美观众面前打球会给球员们带来一些“额外的动力”。
“当你获得成功时，这类事情自然会随之而来，但你并不是为了那个目的而打球，”他说道。“所以，我们对此保持清醒的认识，但我们还有很长的路要走。这就是我们目前的专注点所在。”

What the Spurs have to say about gaining more national media attention
San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama (1) looks to pass to guard De’aaron Fox (4) in the third quarter as the Spurs take on the Suns on Thursday night, Feb. 19, 2026 in the first of two “I-35 Series” games in Austin at the Moody Center.
AUSTIN — In the past 10 days, the NBA has announced its TV partners plan to air national broadcasts of five additional Spurs games.
It’s been welcome news for Spurs fans eager to see the team receive more media attention in the midst of what’s been the franchise’s best season in years.
“We’re so back,” @aggiefood said last week on X.
But for the players, the announcements have largely gone unnoticed.
“I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know that. I think if you asked a bunch of us, we didn’t know either,” forward Julian Champagnie said when asked about the additional broadcasts by network heavyweights such as ESPN and NBC.
“But it’s cool. Being featured is cool,” Champagnie added after shootaround in preparation for Saturday night’s game against Sacramento at Moody Center. “It makes us know we’re doing something right. But it doesn’t really matter. TV, no TV, going to get another ‘W’, that’s the whole goal.”
Since Feb. 11, the NBA has announced that the following home games have been picked up by its TV rightsholders:
- March 10, Boston, NBC/Peacock
- March 14, Charlotte, Amazon Prime
- March 23, Miami, NBC/Peacock
- March 30, Chicago, Peacock
- April 8, Portland, ESPN
All five games will still be available as local telecasts on FanDuel Sports Network, the Spurs said.
With generational talent Victor Wembanyama as the face of the franchise, the Spurs started off the season with 22 of their games scheduled for national TV. But with Wembanyama and Co. doing so well — they ranked second in the Western Conference with a 39-16 record entering Saturday’s game — a total of seven more such contests have been added.
Like Champagnie, center Luke Kornet was unaware of the broadcast changes, the last of which was announced Friday after the Spurs clobbered the Suns 121-94 on Thursday night in Austin for their seventh win in a row.
“It’s just kind of a testament to the success we’ve had so far,” Kornet said.
The ninth-year pro is used to being on national TV after signing with the Spurs this past summer following his stint with the high-profile Boston Celtics. He believes playing in front of a national audience provides players with some “added energy.”
“(That) kind of stuff comes along with it as you are able to be successful, but you’re not really doing it for that motive,” he said. “So, we kind of acknowledge that for what it is, but we have a long way to grow. That’s kind of where our head’s at.”
