The1983–84 San Antonio Spurs season was the Spurs' eighth season in theNBA and 17th season as a franchise.[1] This would be the first season in both the team's history under theSan Antonio Spurs name and their existence in theNBA as a whole that they would miss out on competing in theNBA Playoffs (being a game behind both theDenver Nuggets andKansas City Kings for one of the final playoff spots in the Western Conference), as well as the second time in franchise history that the team would miss out on competing in the playoffs altogether after they had previously missed the1973 ABA Playoffs as theDallas Chaparrals (in what was coincidentally their last season under their original team name before moving toSan Antonio to become the Spurs going forward).
