The Spurs<\/a> are heading back to the playoffs for the first time since 2019 \u2014 and they didn’t merely sneak into the 2026 bracket. Victor Wembayama has guided San Antonio to one of the league’s best records, with the Spurs set to be a top contender to come out of the Western Conference.<\/p>\n

While the Spurs know they’ll be in the playoffs, seeding remains crucial down the stretch of the regular season. They’ve been lurking behind the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> all season.<\/p>\n

Here’s an updated look at the Spurs’ spot in the Western Conference standings, their potential playoff matchups and more.<\/p>\n

Spurs playoff scenarios 2026<\/p>\n

The Spurs have already clinched a playoff spot, tracking for their first 60-win season since 2016-17.<\/p>\n

Seeding-wise there remains just two possibilities for San Antonio: the first or second seed. The more likely outcome will be the No. 2 spot in the conference, as the Spurs trail the Thunder for the top seed by multiple games with the regular season ticking away.<\/p>\n

However, at worst, San Antonio will have home-court advantage for a first-round series as the No. 2 seed. With a 29-7 record at home this season, that advantage is one Wembanyama and company will certainly be content with on their path to the title.<\/p>\n

Spurs playoff opponent<\/p>\n

The Spurs’ playoff opponent will be determined by the results of the 2026 Play-In Tournament.<\/p>\n

If San Antonio comes back to claim the No. 1 seed in the West, then it would play the No. 8 seed, the winner of the final Play-In game. If the Spurs hold onto the No. 2 seed, then they would play the winner of the first Play-In game between the No. 7 and No. 8 seed.<\/p>\n

The current No. 7 seed in the conference is the Suns<\/a>, while the No. 8 seed is the Clippers<\/a>. The winner of that hypothetical Play-In matchup would currently be in-line to take on San Antonio in Round 2.<\/p>\n
