Spurs Finalize Preseason Schedule

SAN ANTONIO, August 17, 2010 – The San Antonio Spurs today announced their final preseason schedule. In addition to their four preseason games at the AT&T Center (tix), the Silver and Black play three preseason games on the road.

The Spurs will tip-off their preseason schedule in Houston on Thursday, Oct. 7 against Yao Ming and the Rockets. Spurs fans will get their first chance to see Tiago Splitter, James Anderson and the rest of the Silver and Black in action when Dwayne Wade, LeBron James, Chris Bosh and the Heat visit the Alamo City on Saturday, Oct. 9.

The Silver and Black will travel to Mexico City to take on the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday, Oct. 12. This will be the Spurs third trip to Mexico City, their first since 1995 when they played a preseason game vs. Washington. San Antonio will then travel to Pittsburgh to face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday, Oct. 14. The game will be played at the Peterson Events Center at the University of Pittsburgh and will be a homecoming of sorts for Spurs forward DeJuan Blair who spent two seasons at Pitt and grew up less than a mile away from campus.

As part of the Euroleague American Tour 2010, the Spurs will host Caja Laboral of Spain on Saturday, Oct. 16. On Monday, Oct. 18, Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder will make a stop in San Antonio before the Spurs close out the preseason with a visit from its I-10 rival Houston Rockets on Thursday, Oct. 21.
