这是NBA公布2026-27赛季赛程的第二天（有这个必要吗？），今天公布的是阿联酋航空NBA杯的分组情况。马刺最终被分在C组，同组的还有湖人、勇士、国王和开拓者。在过去几年似乎总是掉进“死亡之组”后，今年这个分组相对友好，马刺应该更有希望从中突围。
分组已定，赛程已出
从10月30日开始，全部30支球队将角逐@emirates NBA杯，其中8支球队将从小组赛突围晋级淘汰赛。冠军争夺战将于12月11日在印第安纳波利斯的欣克尔体育馆（Hinkle Fieldhouse）举行！

友情提醒，在10月30日至11月27日的常规赛期间，每支球队将与同组对手各交手一次。每个小组的第一名以及东西部各一支外卡球队将晋级淘汰赛。与以往一样，四分之一决赛和半决赛将计入常规赛战绩，而决赛除了计入“65场规则”外，不计入任何常规赛数据。（年度最佳防守球员维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 向此规则致谢！）未晋级的22支球队将在淘汰赛期间进行两场普通的常规赛，以凑满82场常规赛赛程，而在四分之一决赛中落败的球队则会再打一场常规赛。
本赛季的一项新变化是，与四分之一决赛一样，半决赛也将由种子顺位较高的球队主场举办，而决赛则将于12月11日在印第安纳波利斯的欣克尔体育馆举行。过去，半决赛和决赛都在拉斯维加斯举行，但由于球迷行程准备时间太短导致上座率相对较低，这也是将比赛重新放回各队主场举办的原因之一。
去年是马刺首次获得小组第一并晋级，而且他们在没有维克托·文班亚马的情况下，出人意料地在洛杉矶击败了湖人，从而晋级拉斯维加斯。随后，文班因小腿拉伤缺席12场后迎来复出，但由于出场时间受限只能替补出场。在这期间，马刺在12天内三次爆冷痛击雷霆（这是其中的第一场），之后在决赛中惜败于尼克斯：这为随后的季后赛埋下了令人惊喜的伏笔。（这也是首次出现杯赛冠军最终夺得NBA总冠军的情况。）

Spurs draw winnable group as Emirates NBA Cup schedule announced
It’s day two of the NBA’s schedule drop for the 2026-27 season (why is this necessary?), with the Emirates NBA Cup groups being announced today. The Spurs wound up in Group C, along with the Lakers, Warriors, Kings and Trail Blazers. After seemingly always ending up in the “Group of Death” in past years, this is a relatively friendly one that the Spurs should be favored to advance out of.
The groups are set and the schedule is OUT
Starting October 30, all 30 teams will compete for the @emirates NBA Cup with 8 teams advancing out of groups into the knockout rounds, with the Championship held at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, December 11!

As a reminder, each team will play each other once during the regular season between October 30 and November 27, and the winners of each group will advance, along with a wildcard team from each conference. As always, the quarterfinals and semifinals count as regular season games, while the final does not count in any way other than towards the 65-game rule. (Defensive Player of the Year Victor Wembanyama thanks you!) The 22 non-qualifying teams play two standard regular-season games during the knockout rounds to fulfill the 82-game schedule, and losers of the quarterfinals play one regular season game.
A new change this season is like the quarterfinals, the semifinals will be hosted by the higher-seeded team, while the Final will take place at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on December 11. In the past, the semifinals and final were held in Las Vegas, but relatively low attendance due to short turnaround notice for fans to travel played a role in moving the event back to home arenas.
Last year was the first time the Spurs won their group and advanced, and they surprisingly beat the Lakers in Los Angeles in the quarterfinals without Victor Wembanyama to advance to Vegas. Wemby then returned from his 12-game absence due to a calf strain but played limited minutes off the bench as the Spurs got their first of what would become three surprising beatdowns of the Thunder across 12 days before falling to the Knicks in the final: a surprising precursor to what would come in the playoffs. (This was also the first time the Cup winner went on to win the NBA Championship.)
Below is the Spurs’ Cup schedule. You can also click here to get more information about the Cup itself. Are you starting to like this event now that the Spurs are more competitive?
Group Play
- Friday Nov. 6 — at Sacramento Kings, 9:00 PM CT (broadcast TBD)
- Friday Nov. 13 — vs. Golden State Warriors, 8:30 PM CT on Prime
- Wednesday Nov. 25 — at Portland Trail Blazers, 9:00 PM CT on ESPN
- Friday Nov. 27 — vs. Los Angeles Lakers, 9:30 PM CT on Prime
Knockout Rounds
- Quarterfinals — Friday Dec. 4 and Saturday Dec. 5, hosted by higher seeded teams.
- Semifinals —Tuesday Dec. 8 and/or Wednesday Dec. 9, hosted by higher seeded teams (I’m guessing the uncertainty of date is due to not knowing the teams and locations, and if a double-header is feasible or not).
- Final — Friday, Dec. 11 at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
- Regular season games for the disqualified teams will take place on the other days during this time frame.
The NBA will release all 30 teams’ complete regular season schedule tomorrow at 2:00 PM CT.
