SAN ANTONIO – This summer, the San Antonio Spurs have kept themselves busy throughout what is typically a dull and boring NBA offseason.
Weeks after earning the No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft, San Antonio selected guard Dylan Harper out of Rutgers. The Spurs went out and grabbed some frontcourt help in free agency and also re-signed point guard De’Aaron Fox through the end of the decade.
Meanwhile, forward/center/franchise face Victor Wembanyama told a French newspaper that the blood clot that ended his 2024-25 season is behind him and has spent part of his summer learning from a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame player.
Even Spurs governor Peter J. Holt sat down with KSAT 12’s RJ Marquez for a wide-ranging interview that covered a variety of topics back in June.
Now, according to a report published on Friday, the Spurs learned that they may be preparing for a return to the NBA’s premier holiday showcase.
ESPN NBA reporter Shams Charania offered fans a glimpse of the upcoming 2025-26 regular season schedule when he posted the league’s slate of five Christmas Day games to X.
For the second time in two seasons, the Spurs, according to Charania, will be a part of the festivities on Dec. 25.
Their “present?” A trip to Paycom Center, home of the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder won their first NBA title since leaving Seattle and settling in Oklahoma two months ago.
Charania also reported that this year’s Christmas Day games will all be simulcast on ESPN and ABC, which means Spurs-Thunder will also air live on KSAT 12.
An official tipoff time has not yet been announced.

The other blockbuster matchups on Dec. 25, per Charania, will feature Cavs-Knicks, Rockets-Lakers, Mavericks-Warriors and Timberwolves-Nuggets.
Last Christmas Day, Wembanyama was unfazed by the bright lights of Madison Square Garden in New York City when he scored 42 points and hauled in 18 rebounds.
However, San Antonio fell short late in a 117-114 loss to the Knicks.
