SAN ANTONIO (Sept. 22, 2015) - Spurs Sports & Entertainment (SS&E) today announced that the Austin Spurs will play at the AT&T Center in San Antonio on Tuesday, Dec. 29 at 7:30 p.m. The regular season contest, presented by SWBC, will match the Spurs against the defending NBA D-League Champion Santa Cruz Warriors.

"The Austin Spurs game at the AT&T Center will mark the first time in history that a NBA Development League team has played in the San Antonio market," said SS&E Vice President of Franchise Business Operations Tim Salier. "This will provide a unique opportunity for our Austin team to play in the NBA home of their parent team, the San Antonio Spurs. We are looking forward to giving all San Antonio basketball fans this chance to see the high level of competitive play that exists in the D-League."

Austin, the NBA D-League affiliate of the San Antonio Spurs, will make its first-ever appearance at the AT&T Center, which is currently undergoing $100+ million in improvements and renovations that will enhance the fan experience at all levels of the Bexar County-owned arena and help maintain the building as a first-class facility. Renovations to the AT&T Center will include all new seating arena-wide, along with infrastructure and technology improvements.

Fans can get a look at potential NBA talent, as current San Antonio Spurs players Kyle Anderson and Jonathon Simmons have both previously played for Austin.
