The 2015–16 San Antonio Spurs season is the ongoing season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).[1] On April 10, the Spurs' home winning streak came to an end with a loss to Golden State.

Kawhi Leonard was selected to play in the 2016 NBA All-Star Game as a starter. This marked the first All-Star appearance for Leonard.

With the acquisitions of David West and LaMarcus Aldridge, the Spurs finished with a 67–15 record, their best winning percentage in franchise history, earning them the Southwest Division title. The Spurs also set a franchise record for most wins in a season with 67 and most home wins in a season with 40 (tying the 1985-86 Boston Celtics season 40-1 home record).

In the opening round, the Spurs faced the Memphis Grizzlies, and swept them in four games.
