Just like that, the Spurs' 2024–25 season — one marked by health concerns for Coach Gregg Popovich and star Victor Wembanyama — has come to an end, with fans slowly but surely making their way back to the stands.
Why it matters: The absence of the two biggest names in the franchise appears to have had an impact on attendance.
By the numbers: Total home attendance as of Thursday topped 712,000, ranking 18th out of 30 teams for attendance this season, per ESPN.
- Last season's turnout — when Wembanyama debuted — was 742,522.
- This season's attendance is the lowest since 2012, excluding the height of the pandemic and the season after, which saw 615,588 (2021-2022) and 694,434 (2022-2023) fans.
Yes, but: While the dust and final attendance numbers are settling, this season marks one of the Spurs' stronger home showings in years — even if it falls short of the Big Three era, when attendance at the team's home arena topped 770,000 in 2006.
The bottom line: The Spurs' rebuild has extended beyond the roster. The fan base is finding its way back, too.
