Franchise history
The Austin Spurs were established in Columbus, Georgia, as the Columbus Riverdragons. The franchise in 2005 was sold to Southwest Basketball, LLC, and were relocated to the city of Austin, Texas. Following the relocation, the franchise changed their name and logo becoming the Austin Toros, which was unveiled on August 10, 2005. The Toros name was the only NBA-associated team and first D-League team to possess a nickname of Spanish origin. The Toros began play during the 2005–06 season.
On June 28, 2007, the Toros were acquired by the San Antonio Spurs, becoming the second D-League team to be owned by an NBA team, after the Los Angeles D-Fenders were purchased by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2006.[3]
On August 9, 2010, the Toros announced they would move to the Cedar Park Center from the Austin Convention Center and for the 2010–11 season.
On April 28, 2012, the Toros defeated the Los Angeles D-Fenders in Game 3 of the NBA D-League Finals to capture their first championship in franchise history.[4]
On October 15, 2014, the team announced that they would be changing their name to the Austin Spurs, in reference to their parent team.[1]
On April 10, 2018, the Spurs defeated Raptors 905 to secure their second G League championship.[5]
In 2019, the Spurs played in the 2019 FIBA Intercontinental Cup in Rio de Janeiro, as the first G League team to play in the tournament.[6] Austin lost in the semi-final to Flamengo.
In 2020, the Spurs named Tyler Self, son of Hall of Fame coach Bill Self, as the Austin Spurs' general manager and Matt Nielsen as the head coach.[7] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the team played an abbreviated 2020–21 bubble season in Orlando.
Prior to the 2021–22 season, Petar Božić was named Austin's head coach after Nielsen was moved over to San Antonio as an assistant coach.[8][9]
Prior to the 2022–23 season, Brent Barry was named Austin Spurs' general manager.[10]
Prior to the 2024–25 season, Josh Larson was named Austin Spurs' general manager.
