2026年5月24日，星期日，圣安东尼奥，在Frost Bank Center举行的西部决赛第四场第二节结束之际，圣安东尼奥马刺前锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)（1号）、圣安东尼奥马刺后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)（2号）和圣安东尼奥马刺后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)（5号）庆祝文班亚马的压哨三分球。马刺上赛季实现了巨大飞跃，打进了NBA总决赛。以下是他们将在2026-27赛季如何完成对尼克斯失利的救赎。
预测很有趣，但预测市场可不是。本着这一精神，我们为您带来对马刺未来八个月的年度前瞻，同时不对任何滥用此信息而导致的财务破产承担任何责任：
周二： 整个夏天都在为西部决赛耿耿于怀的杰伦·威廉姆斯伤愈复出，加上斗志昂扬的谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大，搅乱了马刺的揭幕战。圣安东尼奥全新的四后卫首发阵容展现出潜力，但在篮板上被痛击，雷霆以112-109获胜。
周五： 休斯顿的凯文·杜兰特在他大学母校奥斯汀的校园里获得大量球迷支持，但在马刺于Moody Center大胜18分的比赛中，他整场显得心不在焉。赛后采访中，杜兰特透露，文班亚马让他重新审视的不仅是自己与FanDuel的代言合同，还有在二打一快攻中得分的道德问题。
11月13日： 在一场全国直播的、与金州勇士斯蒂芬·库里的拉锯对决中，哈珀砍下职业生涯新高的41分，帮助马刺在加时赛中取胜。德雷蒙德·格林在勇士替补席末端对哈珀赞不绝口，他还在自己出战的比赛中直播播客，成为首位这样做的现役球员。
12月9日： 文班亚马因轻伤缺阵10天，马刺在NBA杯半决赛中不敌尼古拉·约基奇领军的掘金。老朋友德玛尔·德罗赞连续命中11记15英尺跳投，让那些不知道这种投篮合法的Z世代球员们一头雾水。
12月25日： 文班亚马复出，在麦迪逊广场花园对阵卫冕NBA冠军的圣诞大战中奉献精彩表演，但最闪耀的时刻属于达龙·福克斯。在最后时刻，他再次挑战OG·阿努诺比，这次一记制胜抛投应声入网，被尼克斯老板詹姆斯·多兰的约739个隐藏摄像头拍下。
1月14日： 巴黎Accor体育馆座无虚席，球迷们纷纷向法国新的文化偶像——凯尔登·约翰逊致敬。在隔扣新奥尔良的锡安·威廉姆森完成一记暴扣后，这位卫冕NBA最佳第六人戴上黑色牛仔帽、啃着法棍面包庆祝马刺的大胜，并成为首位在巴黎用收录机播放达律斯·拉克歌曲的职业运动员。
2月13日： 在马刺基本按兵不动的平静交易截止日两天后，德文·瓦塞尔打出被移出首发以来最全面的比赛，砍下27分击败奥兰多。前马刺助教、现任魔术主教练肖恩·斯威尼建议比利·多诺万再稳一稳。
2月21日： 在菲尼克斯举行的全明星赛上，文班亚马和哈珀都试图鼓励队友打点防守，但没人听。迈阿密的扬尼斯·阿德托昆博当选全明星赛MVP，他在赛后采访中感谢了所有在Polymarket上输掉房子的球迷。
3月11日： 费城76人造访圣安东尼奥时，球队大部分球员住在市中心酒店，而勒布朗·詹姆斯则乘直升机从他周末在马蹄湾购置的豪宅赶来。卡特·布莱恩特当晚大部分时间负责防守詹姆斯，以23比17的得分压过对方，延续了他持续一个月的爆发。
4月11日： 在锁定西部头号种子后，马刺在常规赛收官战对阵开拓者时让大部分主力轮休。这让小塔里斯·里德——整个春天多次登场表现不俗——抢下33个篮板，打破了丹尼斯·罗德曼保持的球队单场纪录。
4月26日： 托拜厄斯·哈珀——哦不，是托拜厄斯·哈里斯——以全队最高的26分领衔，正如马刺所期望的那样与文班亚马完美搭档，马刺横扫威尔·哈迪执教的犹他爵士，结束首轮系列赛。
5月12日： 在西部半决赛早期经受住休斯顿运动能力出色的锋线考验后，哈珀和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔在第六场决胜战中彻底压制火箭。仍在重新审视人生的杜兰特感叹道：文班亚马欺负一个比他大16岁的人，这道德吗？
5月29日： 在西部决赛重演的巅峰对决中——文班亚马在此期间领取了他人生第一个NBA常规赛MVP奖杯——马刺与雷霆连续第二年在西部决赛抢七。这次是在圣安东尼奥，这次两队基本都保持健康。马刺再次获胜。
6月15日： 在这届总决赛中，科怀·伦纳德在Frost Bank Center的三场比赛里遭到震耳欲聋的嘘声，而他在多伦多受到的待遇更加难堪。卡斯尔看起来完全继承了马刺前辈的双向统治力，将伦纳德锁死，而文班亚马和福克斯则完成了总决赛的救赎。
在文班亚马感叹“还要等100场”之后又打了100多场比赛，马刺以六场取胜。

How will the Spurs find NBA Finals redemption? Here’s how.
San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama (1), San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (2), and San Antonio Spurs guard Stephon Castle (5) celebrate Wembanyama’s three point shot at the buzzer to end the second quarter of Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Sunday, May 24, 2026. The Spurs made a giant leap forward last season and reached the NBA Finals. Here’s how they’ll get redemption in 2026-27 after falling to the Knicks.
Predictions are fun. Prediction markets are not. With that in mind, we give you our annual sneak preview of the Spurs’ next eight months, while disavowing any responsibility for the potential financial ruin of anyone who misuses this information:
Tuesday: Having stewed about the conference finals all summer, a healthy Jalen Williams and a motivated Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ruin the Spurs’ opening night. The new San Antonio four-guard starting lineup shows signs of promise but gets pummeled on the boards, and the Thunder win 112-109.
Friday: Houston’s Kevin Durant gets loads of fan support on his old college campus in Austin, but looks distracted throughout an 18-point Spurs romp at the Moody Center. In a postgame interview, Durant reveals that Victor Wembanyama made him reevaluate not only his endorsement deal with FanDuel, but also the morality of scoring on a two-on-one fast break.
November 13: In a nationally televised back-and-forth duel with Golden State’s Stephen Curry, Dylan Harper posts a career-high 41 points to lift the Spurs to an overtime victory. Draymond Green speaks glowingly of Harper from the end of the Warriors’ bench, where he becomes the first active player to livestream a podcast during a game in which he played.
December 9: With Wembanyama nursing a minor injury that keeps him off the floor for 10 days, the Spurs come up short in the NBA Cup semifinals against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets. Old friend DeMar DeRozan connects for 11 consecutive 15-foot jumpers, mystifying all of the Gen-Z players who did not realize those shots were legal.
December 25: Wembanyama returns to put on a spectacular Christmas Day show in Madison Square Garden against the reigning NBA champions, but it’s De’Aaron Fox who gets the biggest moment. In the closing seconds, he once again challenges OG Anunoby, this time swishing a game-winning floater photographed by approximately 739 of Knicks owner James Dolan’s hidden cameras.
January 14: A sellout crowd in Accor Arena turns out to shower praise on France’s new cultural icon — Keldon Johnson. After a massive dunk over New Orleans’ Zion Williamson, the reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year celebrates the San Antonio blowout by donning his black cowboy hat, chomping on a baguette, and becoming the first professional athlete ever to blast Darius Rucker from a boombox in Paris.
February 13: Two days after a quiet trade deadline at which the Spurs mostly stood pat, Devin Vassell posts his best all-around performance since being moved to the bench, scoring 27 points to beat Orlando. Former San Antonio assistant Sean Sweeney, the Magic head coach, advises Billy Donovan to stay put for a while.
February 21: At the All-Star Game in Phoenix, Wembanyama and Harper both try to encourage their teammates to play some defense, but nobody listens. Miami’s Giannis Antetokounmpo is named the game’s Most Valuable Player, and during his postgame interview thanks all of the fans who lost their houses on Polymarket.
March 11: When the Philadelphia 76ers make their visit to San Antonio, most of the team stays at a hotel downtown while LeBron James helicopters in from the mansion he purchased for the weekend at Horseshoe Bay. Carter Bryant, assigned to guard James for most of the night, outscores him 23-17 to continue a monthlong surge.
April 11: Having sewn up the top seed in the West, the Spurs rest most of their starters in the regular-season finale against Portland. This enables Tarris Reed Jr., who fared well in several spurts throughout the spring, to grab 33 rebounds, breaking Dennis Rodman’s single-game franchise record.
April 26: Led by a team-high 26 points from Tobias Harris, playing just as the Spurs hoped alongside Wembanyama, the Spurs finish off a first-round sweep of Will Hardy’s Utah Jazz.
May 12: After being tested by Houston’s athletic wings early in the Western Conference semifinals, Harper and Stephon Castle overwhelm the Rockets in a clinching Game 6. Durant, still reevaluating things, wonders aloud if it was moral for Wembanyama to pick on a guy 16 years older than him.
May 29: In the culmination of a Western Conference finals rematch during which Wembanyama accepted his first NBA MVP award, there’s a Game 7 between the Spurs and Thunder for the second year in a row. This time it’s in San Antonio, and this time both teams are mostly healthy. The Spurs win again.
June 15: In Game 6 of an NBA Finals in which he was booed lustily in three games at Frost Bank Center, Kawhi Leonard is treated even more rudely in Toronto. Looking like every bit the same two-way force as his Spurs predecessor, Castle puts the clamps down on Leonard while Wembanyama and Fox find Finals redemption.
And more than 100 games after Wembanyama lamented having to wait 100 games for this, the Spurs win in six.
