San Antonio Spurs: List of Retired Jersey Numbers

The San Antonio Spurs have seen multiple legends pass through the organization, some of which had their numbers retired.

The San Antonio Spurs have a rich history that’s spanned over four decades. They’ve won five NBA championships, had some of the best single-season teams in league history, and an elite coach in Gregg Popovich, who’s captained all five title-winning teams.

However, the Spurs have had their share of great players pass through. This includes current and future Naismith Hall of Famers, as well as other team standouts. Some of these players had their jersey numbers retired by the franchise, making sure no one else wears it on their uniform again.

Eight Spurs have had their numbers retired. Who are they? Let’s look back at them below:

Johnny Moore – 00

Johnny Moore played for the Spurs from 1980-88, and again, in the 1989-90 season. He started at point guard for most of these seasons, averaging 9.4 points and 7.4 assists.

Avery Johnson – 6

Avery Johnson had three stints with San Antonio (1990-92, 1992-93, 1994-2001). This saw him win the 1999 NBA championship, the first in franchise history. He also averaged 10.1 points and 6.9 assists per game.
