Stars of San Antonio
Because the San Antonio Spurs have been playing in the NBA for quite a long time, they have also had a huge number of players come to play for the team. And these are no small names either; think of Tony Parker, Bruce Bowen, Manu Ginobili, Tim Duncan, David Robinson, Dennis Rodman and Tracy McGrady.
DeMar DeRozan
On 18 July 2018, DeRozan was traded to the San Antonio Spurs, together with Jakob Poeltl and a pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, in exchange for Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green. In his debut for the Spurs in their season opener, DeRozan had 28 points in a 112-108 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. On 3 January, he recorded the first triple-double of his career with 21 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists in a 125-107 win over his former team, the Toronto Raptors. He became the first San Antonio player with a triple-double at home since Tim Duncan in 2003.

For the first time since 1996-1997, the Spurs failed to qualify for the 2020 Playoffs when the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Milwaukee Bucks on 13 August, ending their 22-year streak of consecutive playoff appearances. They finished the season with a losing record, also for the first time since the 1996-1997 season.
