NBA professional basketball team season
The 1985–86 NBA season was the Spurs' tenth season in the NBA , the 13th in San Antonio , and the 19th season as a franchise.[ 1] It was also their first season without George Gervin , who played with the team since 1974 as he was traded to the Chicago Bulls during the offseason.
In his second year, Alvin Robertson led the league in steals and made his first All-Star Game appearance. Robertson earned Defensive Player of the year honors at the end of the season.
