The 2023–24 San Antonio Spurs season was the 57th season of the franchise, its 48th in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 51st in the San Antonio area. After finishing with the third-worst record in 2022–23, the Spurs won the 2023 NBA Draft Lottery,[2][3] selecting French center Victor Wembanyama as their third #1 pick in franchise history after previously selecting Tim Duncan in 1997 and David Robinson in 1987.
After starting the season 3–2, the Spurs lost 18 consecutive games between November 5 and December 15, the longest losing streak in franchise history. Despite Wembanyama's best efforts, not only did they fail to improve upon their record from the previous year, but were eliminated from playoff contention for the fifth consecutive season after a loss to the Sacramento Kings on March 7.
Draft
[edit]Round | Pick | Player | Position | Nationality | School/club team |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | Victor Wembanyama | C | France | Metropolitans 92 (France) |
2 | 33 | Leonard Miller | SF | Canada | NBA G League Ignite (NBA G League) |
2 | 44 | Sidy Cissoko | SG/SF | France | NBA G League Ignite (NBA G League) |
The Spurs held a first-round pick and two second-round picks entering the draft.[4] As expected by many draft experts and pundits, the Spurs would select 7'4" French center Victor Wembanyama of the Metropolitans 92 as their third ever #1 pick in franchise history. In the second round, however, the Spurs would select two NBA G League Ignite players by taking Canadian small forward Leonard Miller at #33 and French guard/forward Sidy Cissoko at #44.
