Spurs Set to Face Struggling Nets in Home Opener

DALLAS, Texas — The San Antonio Spurs are ready for their home opener against the struggling Brooklyn Nets on October 26, 2025, at the Frost Bank Center. After a strong start to the season, the Spurs are 2-0, while the Nets have yet to secure a win with an 0-2 record.

The Spurs, led by rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama, hope to capitalize on the Nets’ shaky performance so far this season. Pundits have largely dismissed the Nets, especially after trading Cameron Johnson to the Denver Nuggets for Michael Porter Jr. and a future first-round pick.

Wembanyama has impressed in his first games, showcasing his skills and potential by effectively dominating in the paint. Coach Popovich expressed optimism about the young player’s development, stating, “Victor is creating opportunities for himself and his teammates. We hope to build on this momentum.”

For the Nets, the season has started on a sour note. They have struggled with injuries and consistency, losing players like Haywood Highsmith and Danny Wolf in their first two games. Cam Thomas, who has dealt with a nasal fracture, is expected to play but will do so wearing a mask.

The Spurs have injuries of their own, including De'Aaron Fox and Kelly Olynyk, who are sidelined. However, their depth and experience, mixed with the energy of younger players like Wembanyama, could provide a significant advantage in this matchup.

As the teams face off in San Antonio, both will aim to set the tone early in the game. The Spurs look to maintain their winning streak, while the Nets need to find their footing to avoid falling further behind.

Game time is set for 2:00 p.m. ET, and fans can catch the action on YES Network and Gotham Sports streaming services.
