2026年6月13日星期六，NBA总决赛第五场在圣安东尼奥Frost银行中心举行，圣安东尼奥马刺后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)（5号）防守纽约尼克斯后卫杰伦·布伦森（11号）。
当维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 上赛季最后一次离开Frost银行中心时——马刺刚在NBA总决赛第五场不敌纽约尼克斯——他就清楚等待自己的将是一个悖论：这个夏天会很短暂，却又仿佛漫长得没有尽头。
“让我恼火的是，我们得再打大约100场比赛才能重返总决赛，”文班亚马当时说道，“我只能把这份不甘压在心里，耐心等待。”
以下就是文班亚马和马刺在新赛季需要闯过的一道道关卡与陷阱——他们要兑现那个六月份与他们擦肩而过的目标：
1. 揭幕战即恩怨局
马刺的总决赛冲刺将以一声惊雷开启：10月20日主场迎战俄克拉荷马城，一段迅速升温的西部恩怨再度上演。常规赛期间，马刺五次交手四次击败了当时还是卫冕冠军的雷霆，随后又在西部决赛中通过惊心动魄的抢七大战将其淘汰。在两届常规赛MVP谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大的率领下，雷霆无疑渴望在赛季揭幕战中打一场翻身仗。
2. 赛季初的I-35公路之旅
马刺近年来已将每年造访奥斯汀穆迪中心球馆纳入固定日程，过去四个赛季每年都在德克萨斯大学校园进行两场比赛。今年，马刺将增加第三个奥斯汀主场日——10月23日对阵休斯顿，这也是球队赛季第二战。这场比赛不仅标志着火箭前锋凯文·杜兰特重返他昔日驰骋的德大球场，还让马刺恰好撞上了州首府一个超大型体育周末——同一时间，这座城市还将举办美洲赛道的一级方程式美国大奖赛，以及长角牛队对阵密西西比大学的橄榄球赛。
3. 万圣节迎来“蚁人”
万圣节当天，明尼苏达将携全明星后卫安东尼·爱德华兹造访Frost银行中心。在上赛季西部半决赛的重演中，马刺希望收到的“糖果”多过“恶作剧”。
4. 再度圣诞大战纽约
三年内第二次，马刺将在圣诞节当天奔赴纽约，与尼克斯上演圣诞大战。这一次，马刺心中怀揣着复仇之火。这将是纽约在总决赛击败他们之后，马刺首次面对杰伦·布伦森领衔的尼克斯。
5. 跨年背靠背
假日季对马刺来说将十分忙碌。除了圣诞大战之外，马刺还将在新年前夜造访夏洛特。打完那场球后他们最好少喝点香槟，因为第二天球队还将在华盛顿的元旦比赛中迎接2027年的到来。
6. 你好，巴黎！（还有英格兰）
NBA没能让文班亚马离开法国太久。在阔别一年之后，马刺将重返巴黎，于1月14日对阵新奥尔良。1月17日，马刺将再度迎战鹈鹕，这次是在曼彻斯特。为了两场西南分区较量跑这么远的路，真是不可思议！
7. 牛仔竞技之旅！
由于NBA全明星周末的间隔，以及两场安排在奥斯汀的指定“主场”比赛，如今的牛仔竞技之旅已不再是从前那般艰苦。但事实依然是，从2月7日到2月26日，马刺不会踏进Frost银行中心半步。今年的牛仔之旅，马刺将在全明星休赛期前先后造访达拉斯、俄克拉荷马城、奥兰多、迈阿密、孟菲斯和明尼苏达。全明星赛后，他们将在奥斯汀迎战孟菲斯和丹佛，随后以丹佛和休斯顿两站为这段旅程画上句号。

8. 总决赛重演
上一次尼克斯造访Frost银行中心，他们是在马刺的主场地板上庆祝夺冠的。3月7日纽约本赛季唯一一次常规赛到访圣安东尼奥时，马刺恐怕不会忘记那场以他们为代价的狂欢。到那时，也许球队已经把杰里米·索汉那支胜利雪茄的味道从球馆里彻底清除干净了。
9. 告别“国王”？
41岁高龄、即将开启个人第24个NBA赛季的勒布朗·詹姆斯，几乎可以肯定（大概？也许？）正在迎来职业生涯的最后一个赛季。如果这真的是“国王”詹姆斯的绝唱——而且还是身披费城球衣——那么球迷在Frost银行中心目睹他的最后机会将是3月11日。那一天，76人将进行本赛季唯一一次圣安东尼奥之行。
10. 收官阶段坐镇主场
马刺将把几乎整个二月和三月的大部分时间都花在客场。而回报则在赛季冲刺阶段到来：常规赛最后八场比赛中，有六场将在Frost银行中心进行。从3月29日开始，直到4月11日对阵开拓者的赛季收官战，马刺仅会离开主场一次——那就是在洛杉矶先后对阵快船和湖人。对于一支很可能仍在为季后赛席位而奋力拼争的马刺来说，这样的赛程安排可谓相当有利。

Ten dates worth circling on the Spurs’ new schedule
San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (5) defends against New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (11) during Game 5 of the NBA Finals at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio on Saturday, June 13, 2026.
As Victor Wembanyama left the Frost Bank Center for the final time last season, in the wake of the Spurs’ Game 5 defeat against the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals, he knew the paradox that awaited him. It was going to be a short summer that somehow felt interminable.
“What I’m pissed about is that there’s probably 100 games before we can get back to the Finals,” Wembanyama said then. I’m going to have to hold that inside of me and wait.”
Here is a look at some of the land mines and potholes Wembanyama and the Spurs must navigate in the season to come as they look to make good on a goal that narrowly eluded them in June:
1. A season-opening grudge match
The Spurs get their NBA Finals push kicked off with a bang, opening Oct. 20 at home against Oklahoma City in the renewal of a blossoming Western Conference rivalry. The Spurs bested the Thunder, then the defending champions, four times in five meetings during the regular season before bouncing them from the conference finals in a thrilling seven-game series. Led by two-time league MVP Shai-Gilgeous Alexander, OKC could certainly use a breakthrough in the season curtain-raiser.
2. An early-season race up I-35
The Spurs have made an annual trek to the Moody Center in Austin part of their annual calendar, playing a pair of games on the University of Texas campus in each of the past four seasons. This year, the Spurs will add a third Austin date — this one the second game of the season against Houston on Oct. 23. Not only does this tilt mark the return Rockets forward Kevin Durant to his old UT stomping grounds, it also puts the Spurs smack dab in the middle of a super-sized sports weekend in the state capital – with the city also hosting the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas and a Longhorns football game against Mississippi.
3. Ant-Man for Halloween
Halloween brings Minnesota and All-Star guard Anthony Edwards to the Frost Bank Center. The Spurs will hope for more treats than tricks in a rematch of last season’s Western Conference semifinal series.
4. Christmas in New York, again
For the second time in three years, the Spurs will head to New York for a Christmas Day extravaganza against the Knicks. This time around, the Spurs will have revenge on their minds. It will be Spurs’ first time facing Jalen Brunson and Co. since New York bested them in the NBA Finals.
5. A New Year’s double-dip
The holiday season will be a busy one for the Spurs. In addition to their Christmas appearance, the Spurs are set for a New Year’s Eve date in Charlotte. They might want to go easy on the champagne after that one, as the Spurs are also slated to ring in 2027 the next day with a New Year’s Day game at Washington.
6. Bonjour, Paris! (And England)
The NBA wasn’t able to keep Wembanyama away from France for long. After a one-year hiatus, the Spurs are set to return to Paris for a Jan. 14 meeting with New Orleans. On Jan. 17, the Spurs will face the Pelicans again, this time in Manchester. It’s a long way to go for a pair of Southwest Division contests. Sacre bleu!
7. Let’s rodeo!
Broken up by the NBA All-Star break and a pair of designated “home games” in Austin, the Rodeo Road Trip isn’t the bear it used to be. The fact remains, however, the Spurs won’t step foot in the Frost Bank Center from Feb. 7 through Feb. 26. This year’s rodeo trip takes the Spurs to Dallas, Oklahoma City, Orlando, Miami, Memphis and Minnesota before the All-Star hiatus. They return for games against Memphis and Denver in Austin before finishing the trek at Denver and Houston.

8. A Finals rematch
The last time the Knicks visited the Frost Bank Center, they celebrated a championship on the Spurs’ home floor. It is likely the Spurs will not have forgotten that party at their expense with New York makes its lone regular-season appearance in San Antonio on March 7. By then, perhaps the team will have fumigated the smell of Jeremy Sochan’s victory cigar from the building.
9. Farewell to The King?
At age 41 and entering his 24th NBA season, LeBron James is almost certainly, (probably? maybe?) entering his final season in the league. If this is truly King James’ swan song — in a Philadelphia jersey, no less — the last chance to catch him at the Frost Bank Center will be March 11. That’s when the 76ers make their only regular-season visit to San Antonio.
10. Hunker down at home
The Spurs will spend almost all of February and a good bit of March on the road. The payoff for that comes during the home stretch of the season, which the club finishes with six of eight games at the Frost Bank Center. Beginning March 29 and running through the April 11 season-ender against Portland, the Spurs will leave down only once – for a game against the Clippers and one against the Lakers in Los Angeles. It is a good set-up for a Spurs team likely to still be jockeying for playoff positioning.
