Happy Sunday, Por Vida fans! Welcome to your evening Spurs Starter.

Ahead of the 2024-25 NBA season, the San Antonio Spurs will continue to partner with Self Financial, making it the official credit building app of the team for the third straight season.

The Spurs will no longer don Self's logo on their jerseys, but will continue to work with the brand on multiple fan and game engagements throughout the season as part of an expanded partnership effort, including one of their Jr. WNBA program "Spurs Her Time to Play"

“We’re touched by Self’s passionate and unwavering support of pivotal impact programs such as SCLI and Her Time to Play,” Spurs Sports & Entertainment Chief Commercial Officer Frank Miceli said. “The work we’ve led together in the first two years of this partnership has been incredibly fulfilling for our organization, and we’re looking forward to new opportunities in this third season."

Monday morning will be the first time fans can see the Spurs ahead of Victor Wembanyama's second season.

Now, here are some headlines.
