Spurs Playoff Schedule

Here's everything you need to know about San Antonio's playoff schedule during the 2022 NBA postseason.

Are the Spurs in the Playoffs?

No, the Spurs are not officially in the NBA Playoffs yet. They have clinched a berth in the NBA Play-In Tournament, which means they'll need to fight for the chance to make the first round.

They will be joined by three other squads in the Play-In Tournament -- the Minnesota Timberwolves, LA Clippers and New Orleans Pelicans -- and only two teams of out of the four participants will make the playoffs.

What Seed Are the Spurs?

San Antonio is the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. They will face the 9th seed New Orleans Pelicans in Game 4 of the play-in tournament.

If they win in that game, they would then play the loser of the 7th seed vs 8th seed matchup. The winner of that final game would then be the official 8th seed in the first round of the playoffs.

Who Will the San Antonio Spurs Play in the Playoffs?

The Spurs will need to play at least two play-in games to determine their first round opponent. If they win the first play-in game as the 10th seed, they'll then face the loser of the 7th vs 8th seed matchup for the final spot in the first round. That second game will determine who is advancing as the 8th seed in the first round, and who is going home.

If the Spurs claim the 8th seed, they'd face the 1-seed Phoenix Suns in the first round.

Are the Spurs Out of Playoffs?

The NBA Playoffs have not started yet. The NBA Play-In Tournament is set to take place April 12-15 ahead of the start of the first round on April 16. San Antonio needs to secure a spot in the playoffs by advancing through the play-in tourney.
