# 2021–22 San Antonio Spurs season

The 2021–22 San Antonio Spurs season was the 55th season of the franchise, its 46th in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 49th in the San Antonio area. For the first time since 2010–11, long-time point guard Patty Mills was not on the roster, as he signed with the Brooklyn Nets on August 10, 2021. Mills was previously the longest tenured player on the Spurs roster, and the last player from the 2013–14 championship season to remain on the roster. Mills' departure made sixth-year point guard Dejounte Murray the new longest tenured player on the roster.
On April 5, 2022, the Spurs became the 20th and final team to clinch a postseason position, clinching a spot in the elimination round in the play-in tournament for the second consecutive year, qualifying for the second consecutive year in the first stage as the No. 10 seed. However, they lost to the New Orleans Pelicans in the Play-In tournament, eliminating the Spurs from playoff contention for the third consecutive season.

* ↑ Indiana will receive the pick if it's No. 56-60, otherwise they receive nothing.
* ↑ San Antonio will receive the pick if it's No. 56-60, otherwise they receive nothing. Indiana traded the No. 31–55 portion of this pick to Sacramento on February 8, 2022.
* ↑ San Antonio has the right to swap its own pick for the worse of the picks originally belonging to Indiana and Miami.
* ↑ Before this trade, Chicago had the right to trade its pick for Detroit's, with the worse of the two going to Sacramento; San Antonio could then swap the Lakers' pick for the better of Chicago/Detroit, leaving Chicago with the remaining pick. The pick traded here was the one Chicago would have ended up with after the swap rights were done. San Antonio traded the better of the Chicago and Detroit picks to Toronto on February 10, 2022.
* ↑ Chicago already owes its protected 2023 first-round pick to Orlando, which will convert to two second-round picks if not conveyed by 2024. Because teams cannot trade future first-round picks in consecutive years, San Antonio may not be able to receive the pick until at least 2026. In the first eligible year, San Antonio will receive the pick if it's No. 11-30, in the second or third year (2026 and 2027 or 2027 and 2028) if No. 9-30, after which it will convert to Chicago's 2028 second-round pick.
* ↑ San Antonio will receive the pick if it's No. 34-60, otherwise they receive nothing.
* ↑ The worst of the four picks originally belonging to Houston, Indiana, Miami, and Oklahoma City.
* ↑ San Antonio will receive the pick if it's No. 5–30, in 2023 if No. 5–30; if the pick is not conveyed by 2023, San Antonio will receive Portland's 2023 second-round pick and the better of 1) the 2023 second-round pick originally belonging to Houston (if No. 33–60) or 2) the worse of the picks originally belonging to Dallas and Miami. San Antonio received the pick.
* ↑ If Boston's pick is No. 1, San Antonio will instead receive Boston's second-round pick if it's No. 31–45, otherwise receiving nothing.
* ↑ The better of the picks originally belonging to Chicago and Detroit.
* ↑ San Antonio will receive in 2022 if it's No. 15–30, in 2023 if it's No. 14–30; if the pick is not conveyed by 2023, it will convert to Toronto's second-round picks in 2023 and 2026.
