# 2024–25 San Antonio Spurs season

The 2024–25 San Antonio Spurs season is the 58th season of the franchise, its 49th in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 52nd in the San Antonio area.
On November 2, 2024, longtime head coach Gregg Popovich reportedly experienced a "health issue", later revealed to be a minor stroke, necessitating a leave of absence. Two days later, it was announced that he would need to take an indefinite break from work, with assistant Mitch Johnson stepping in as acting head coach. Popovich's coaching break would later be confirmed to last for the entire season.
On February 10, the Spurs officially improved on their record from the previous season.

## Draft

| Round | Pick | Player | Position | Nationality | School/club team |
| 1 | 4 | Stephon Castle | PG | United States | UConn |
| 1 | 8 | Rob Dillingham | PG | United States | Kentucky |
| 2 | 35 | Johnny Furphy | SG | Australia | Kansas |
| 2 | 48 | Harrison Ingram | SF | United States | North Carolina |
The Spurs had two first-round picks and two second-round picks entering the draft (which was two days long instead of one day like it previously had been since the NBA draft was shortened down to two rounds in 1989).
