The 1983–84 San Antonio Spurs season was the Spurs' eighth season in the NBA and 17th season as a franchise.[1] This would be the first season in both the team's history under the San Antonio Spurs name and their existence in the NBA as a whole that they would miss out on competing in the NBA Playoffs (being a game behind both the Denver Nuggets and Kansas 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 the 1973 ABA Playoffs as the Dallas Chaparrals (in what was coincidentally their last season under their original team name before moving to San Antonio to become the Spurs going forward).
