After a Finals loss in June, the Spurs enter the 2026-27 season hungry. San Antonio will kick things off with a home matchup against the Hawks on Thursday.
Despite a gut-wrenching title loss to the Knicks earlier this year, Victor Wembanyama and Co. are still poised to make another deep run. If teammates like Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper can play to full potential, this San Antonio squad is certainly qualified for a championship. Thursday will mark the team’s first preseason appearance.
The Hawks, meanwhile, will be heading to San Antonio following a preseason loss to the Grizzlies on Monday. Atlanta has a deep squad, with core players like Jalen Johnson, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and CK McCollum all averaging around 20 points per game. The challenge will be for head coach Quin Snyder as he works to establish a starting five.
Who will score their first win of the 2026-27 season?
