A four-time champion with the Spurs and two-time NBA All-Star, Ginobili will be on hand as his jersey in the rafters of the AT&T Center will be revealed with a Hall of Fame distinction at halftime. In addition, compliments of H-E-B, everyone in attendance will receive a limited-edition Spurs x nba paint collaborative T-shirt that will pay tribute to Ginobili becoming a Hall of Famer.

San Antonio is also set to host premier home games all season long, including the Los Angeles Lakers in back-to-back home games the two days after Thanksgiving on Friday, Nov. 25 and Saturday, Nov. 26. The Spurs welcome their interstate rival the Dallas Mavericks on New Year’s Eve, and the Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics in San Antonio on Saturday, Jan. 7.

The organization said more “memorable events” are planned for the 2022-23 season.

“Hosting these four games is part of our vision to purposefully engage and celebrate our entire Spurs following from Mexico to Austin, while fostering the next generation of fans,” RC Buford, the CEO of Spurs Sports & Entertainment, said in the release. “Playing in front of our Austin fans for the first time ever during the regular season, returning to Mexico City and hosting a historic celebration in the Alamodome will each be exciting moments for our entire organization. We are grateful for our loyal supporters throughout our entire region and are thrilled for the opportunity to play in front of them as part of our 50th anniversary season.”

Also, at select home games on notable theme nights this season, a Spurs legend bobblehead will be given out to the first 10,000 fans in attendance. At the end of the season, all five bobbleheads will come together as one unit for fans who collect the entire series to form a Spurs river barge, made popular during the team’s championship celebrations.
