The 2018–19 San Antonio Spurs season will be the 52nd season of the franchise, 43rd in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and 46th in the San Antonio area.

This will be the first season since the 2000–01 season in which point guard Tony Parker will not be on the team. After 17 years with the Spurs, he signed with the Charlotte Hornets in the offseason. It will also be the first season since the 2001–02 season without Manu Ginóbili on the team. He retired on August 27, 2018, officially ending what was the Spurs' "Big Three" era.[1] The departures of Parker, Danny Green, and Kawhi Leonard, and the retirement of Ginobili, leaves Patty Mills as the longest tenured Spur on the roster, also the last remaining player from the 2014 championship season on the roster. The last season the Spurs were without the trio of Duncan, Parker, or Ginobili was 1996–97.

After sitting out the majority of last season due to injury, this will also be the first season since 2010–11 without Kawhi Leonard on the roster as he was traded alongside Danny Green to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Pöltl, and a 2019 protected first round pick on July 18, 2018.
