2026年9月28日，星期一，圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔（5号）与迪伦·哈珀（2号）在圣安东尼奥胜利资本训练中心举行的NBA媒体日上拍摄官方肖像照。
在经历上赛季闯入NBA总决赛的辉煌后，圣安东尼奥马刺队于本周一通过媒体日活动，正式拉开了2026-27赛季的备战序幕。
马刺队将于10月20日迎来对阵俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的常规赛揭幕战，而在此之前，球员与教练们悉数接受了媒体采访，畅聊了从维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 的持续蜕变，到球队的总冠军期许，再到球场外的日常生活等各类话题。
以下是马刺媒体日的焦点时刻、精彩语录以及趣味亮点花絮。
卡斯尔与哈珀合体登上GQ封面特辑
@dy1anharper 和 @StephonCastle 成为了NBA全新的王牌双人组。他们能否带领@spurs 踏上应许之地？
“我们明白为了走到这一步付出了什么，”哈珀表示，“现在，我们必须全力以赴。”卡斯尔呼应了他后场搭档的想法：“我们注定要杀回去。”

甚至在马刺媒体日正式开始前，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 和迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 就已经成为了各大媒体的头条焦点。
马刺这对年轻的后场组合亮相于周一发布的最新一期《GQ Hype》人物特写中，该专访深入探讨了这对组合的飞速崛起，以及这支刚杀入NBA总决赛的球队所承载的万众期待。
在这篇专访中，卡斯尔和哈珀谈到了两人日益默契的化学反应、率领一支争冠球队所承受的压力，以及一些轻松有趣的场外话题。
哈珀开玩笑称，自己本赛季的目标是夺得NBA年度最佳第六人奖项，这一想法随即遭到了卡斯尔的当场“泼冷水”。
这种充满趣味的互怼也延续到了媒体日的现场。
当被问及谁是队里最爱说垃圾话的人时，哈珀毫不犹豫地给出了答案。
“斯蒂芬·卡斯尔，”哈珀脱口而出。
随后《快报》向卡斯尔求证哈珀的回答。
“我觉得迪伦纯粹是在甩锅，”卡斯尔笑着回应，“我认为垃圾话大王的头衔绝对非他莫属。”
卡斯尔与哈珀偏爱的德州墨西哥美食
并不是每一位马刺球员都彻底融入了圣安东尼奥独特的塔可（Taco，墨西哥夹饼）文化。
当被问及最喜欢的塔可店时，迪伦·哈珀给出的坦白或许会让当地球迷大感意外。
“我没有最喜欢的塔可店，因为我有专属厨师，”哈珀向《快报》透露，“圣安东尼奥球迷估计要恨我了。我平时不吃塔可，我喜欢吃墨西哥卷饼（Burrito）。”
哈珀表示，自己雷打不动的点单标配是夹有墨西哥奶酪酱和米饭的牛排卷饼。
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔的点单则要简单得多。
“我就点普通塔可，牛排塔可就行，”卡斯尔说道。
卡斯尔还补充说自己不加番茄和酸奶油，将塔可的配料精简到了极致。
马刺球员媒体日上脚鞋款盘点
维克托·文班亚马或许在马刺媒体日上提前曝光了耐克的一款全新力作。
这位马刺当家球星上脚了一双带有其专属外星人标志的纯白耐克球鞋。尽管耐克官方尚未正式公布该鞋款名称，但其外观酷似该品牌旗下的G.T. Cut系列衍生款。
更衣室的其他球鞋同样看点十足：达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 上脚了白色安德玛 D. Fox 3，这也是其个人签名鞋系列的最新版本。斯蒂芬·卡斯尔选择了Air Jordan 41 PF “Ruby”配色，而德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 则上脚了Nike Book 2 “WNBA 30周年纪念”版。
朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 穿着了Nike Kobe 8 Protro “Mambacurial”刺客配色。迪伦·哈珀同样选择了科比战靴，上脚了一双原本为队友托拜厄斯·哈里斯 (Tobias Harris) 打造的Nike Kobe 6 Protro球员专属（PE）配色。
新秀卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 则穿着Jordan Heir Series 2完成了这组媒体日鞋款集锦。
卡斯尔和哈珀调侃福克斯是更衣室“老舅”
在马刺媒体日的三人合影拍摄环节中，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔和迪伦·哈珀不忘提醒达龙·福克斯，谁才是这群人里的资深老将。
“快过来，老舅，”三人合影摆造型时，哈珀开玩笑道，调侃福克斯是这组搭档里名副其实的长辈。
福克斯迅速机智反击。
“要是我30岁就算老舅了，那你们俩纯粹就是未成年毛头小子，”他笑着打趣道。
凯尔登·约翰逊的“室内轻声细语”仍需磨砺
凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 踏入马刺媒体日现场的那一刻，便迅速成为了全场瞩目的焦点。
未见其人，先闻其声——约翰逊头戴一顶牛仔帽步入胜利资本训练中心，随身散发着他标志性的澎湃活力。
在一次拍摄过程中，约翰逊发出了一声震耳欲聋的高呼，瞬间在整座训练馆内回荡。这声充满激情的咆哮声量极大，甚至短暂打断了斯蒂芬·卡斯尔正在进行的新闻发布会。
卡斯尔停下了发言，意会到这是约翰逊搞出的动静后，同现场的记者们一起哄堂大笑。
文班回顾圣安东尼奥季后赛的温情支持
维克托·文班亚马表示，自己至今仍未忘却马刺球迷在上赛季一路高歌猛进杀入总决赛期间给予的全力支持。
“我们在季后赛全过程，以及直至总决赛期间所感受到的氛围，简直不可思议，”文班亚马动情地说道，“球迷们聚集在机场迎接我们，源源不断地向我们表达爱意与支持。”
文班亚马表示，这种强烈的共鸣进一步拉近了马刺队与圣安东尼奥整座城市之间的纽带。
“这种感觉太棒了，”他感慨道，“知道背后有这样一群球迷在无条件支持你、作你的坚实后盾，让人心里倍感踏实。”
文班对“成功”的定义已然升华
在经历上赛季闯入NBA总决赛后，维克托·文班亚马表示，马刺全队对新赛季如何定义“成功”设立了更高的门槛。
“对成功的定义已经改变了，”文班亚马直言，“我们在队友之间设立了一些秘而不宣的内部目标，但同时也有一些无需多言、显而易见的远大目标。”
文班亚马表示，仅仅重回西部决赛或再次问鼎西部冠军已不再是终极目标。
“我们去年拿下了西部冠军。今年的目标只高不低，我们希望锁定西部第一种子的宝座，”他坚定地表示，“我们要全力以赴去争夺这个头把交椅。”
凯尔登·约翰逊对文班的新机舱座友“心里犯嘀咕”
当话题转向维克托·文班亚马时，凯尔登·约翰逊与哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 贡献了马刺媒体日上极具喜感的一幕互动。
在被问及文班亚马最喜欢的书籍时，巴恩斯起初猜测是“某本文学法文书”，随后回想起了乔治·奥威尔的两部经典名作。
“他喜欢《1984》，也很喜欢《动物农场》，”巴恩斯透露道。
随后两人的话题转到了文班亚马的专机行程安排上。
“他们说维克托想让卡特在飞机上坐他身边，”约翰逊对巴恩斯说道。
“我倒觉得挺好的，”巴恩斯平静地回应。
约翰逊的反应却显然没那么淡然。
“我这心里可有点犯嘀咕了，”他假装吃醋地打趣道。

Spurs Media Day: Castle, Harper dish on Tex-Mex, trash talk and more
San Antonio Spurs guards Stephon Castle (5) and Dylan Harper (2) pose for official portraits during the NBA basketball team’s media day at the Victory Capital Performance Center in San Antonio, Monday, Sept. 28, 2026.
After reaching the NBA Finals last season, the San Antonio Spurs officially began preparing for 2026-27 on Monday with Media Day.
The Spurs open the regular season Oct. 20 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but first, players and coaches met with reporters to discuss everything from Victor Wembanyama’s continued development, to the team’s championship expectations — and life away from basketball.
Here are some of the biggest moments, memorable quotes and lighter highlights from Spurs Media Day.
Castle and Harper land GQ feature
@dy1anharper and @StephonCastle are the NBA’s new dynamic duo. Can they get the @spurs to the promised land?
“We understand what goes into [making] it," Harper says. "Now, we got to do it.” Castle echoes his backcourt partner’s thought: “We finna go back.”

Before Spurs Media Day even began, Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper were already making headlines.
The Spurs’ young backcourt is featured in a new GQ Hype profile published Monday, which explores the duo’s rapid rise and the expectations surrounding a team coming off an NBA Finals appearance.
In the feature, Castle and Harper discussed their growing chemistry, the pressure of helping lead a championship contender and a few lighter topics.
Harper joked that he wanted to win the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year Award this season, prompting Castle to quickly shoot down the idea.
That playful back-and-forth carried over into Media Day.
Asked who the team’s biggest trash talker is, Harper didn’t hesitate.
“Steph Castle,” he said.
The Express-News later asked Castle about Harper’s answer.
“I think Dyl is just deflecting,” Castle said. “I feel like he definitely holds that title, trash talk.”
Castle and Harper’s go-to Tex-Mex orders
Not every Spur has fully embraced San Antonio’s taco culture.
Asked about his favorite taco spot, Dylan Harper had a confession that may surprise local fans.
“I don’t have a favorite taco spot, I have a chef,” Harper told the Express-News. “San Antonio is going to hate me. I don’t eat tacos. I eat burritos.”
Harper said his go-to order is a steak burrito with queso and rice.
Stephon Castle’s order is much simpler.
“I would just get a regular taco, steak tacos,” he said.
Castle also said he skips tomatoes and sour cream, keeping his tacos about as simple as they come.
What Spurs players rocked to media day
Victor Wembanyama may have offered a preview of an upcoming Nike release during Spurs Media Day.
The Spurs star wore an all-white pair of Nike sneakers featuring his alien logo. While Nike has not identified the shoes, they appeared to resemble a model from the company’s G.T. Cut line.
Elsewhere around the locker room, De’Aaron Fox wore the white Under Armour D. Fox 3, the latest version of his signature shoe. Stephon Castle chose the Air Jordan 41 PF “Ruby,” while Devin Vassell wore the Nike Book 2 “WNBA 30th Anniversary.”
Julian Champagnie sported the Nike Kobe 8 Protro “Mambacurial.” Dylan Harper also wore Kobes, choosing a Nike Kobe 6 Protro player-exclusive model originally made for teammate Tobias Harris.
Rookie Carter Bryant rounded out the group in the Jordan Heir Series 2.
Castle, Harper remind Fox he’s the “unc” of the group
Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper made sure De’Aaron Fox knew who the veteran was during a three-player photo shoot at Spurs Media Day.
“Get in here, unc,” Harper joked as the trio posed together, teasing Fox about being the elder statesman of the group.
Fox quickly fired back.
“If I’m unc at 30, y’all are teenagers,” he joked.
Keldon Johnson’s indoor voice remains a work in progress
Keldon Johnson made his presence known the moment he arrived at Spurs Media Day.
You could hear him before you saw him, as Johnson walked into the Victory Capital Performance Center wearing a cowboy hat and bringing his trademark energy.
During a photo shoot, Johnson let out a booming yell that echoed throughout the building. The outburst was loud enough to briefly interrupt Stephon Castle’s news conference.
Castle paused, realized Johnson was responsible for the commotion and laughed along with reporters in the room.
Wemby reflects on San Antonio’s playoff support
Victor Wembanyama said he hasn’t forgotten the support Spurs fans showed throughout last season’s playoff run to the NBA Finals.
“What we saw in the playoffs in general, and leading up to the Finals, was amazing,” Wembanyama said. “People waiting for us at the airport. People showing love and showing support.”
Wembanyama said the response strengthened the bond between the Spurs and San Antonio.
“It’s amazing,” he said. “It’s very assuring to know that we have these people. They have our back.”
Wemby’s definition of success has changed
After reaching the NBA Finals last season, Victor Wembanyama said the Spurs have raised their expectations for what defines a successful season.
“The definition of success changed,” Wembanyama said. “We have some goals between us that we’re going to keep between us as teammates, but we have some other goals that are obvious.”
Wembanyama said returning to the Western Conference championship is no longer the goal.
“We won the West last year. We don’t want to do anything less this year, and we want to be the first seed,” he said. “We want to keep fighting for this top spot.”
Keldon Johnson feels ‘some type of way’ about Wemby’s new seatmate
Keldon Johnson and Harrison Barnes delivered one of the lighter moments of Spurs Media Day when their conversation turned to Victor Wembanyama.
Asked about Wembanyama’s favorite book, Barnes first guessed “something French” before recalling two George Orwell classics.
“He liked 1984 and he liked Animal Farm,” Barnes said.
The conversation then shifted to Wembanyama’s travel plans.
“They said Vic wants Carter to ride with him on the plane,” Johnson told Barnes.
“I’m good with that,” Barnes replied.
Johnson wasn’t nearly as enthusiastic.
“I feel some type of way,” he joked.
