The Austin Spurs are welcoming fans back to the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park on Friday, Nov. 4 with an Opening Night Celebration and a San Antonio Spurs 50th Anniversary commemorative coin giveaway for the first 500 fans. In honor of the Spurs 50th Anniversary season, the Spurs legends bobblehead series that the San Antonio Spurs are giving away this season will be included with select tickets for Austin Spurs games on Nov. 20 (George Gervin), Dec. 2 (David Robinson), Jan. 1 (Tim Duncan), Feb. 11 (Manu Ginobili) and March 10 (Tony Parker). All five bobbleheads will come together as one unit for fans who collect the entire series to form a Spurs river barge, made popular during the team’s championship celebrations. Fans who are interested in guaranteeing that they receive all five bobbleheads can purchase the Legends Bobblehead Pack, which includes the five games and five bobbleheads starting at $250.
Los Raros de Austin, the alternate identity of the Austin Spurs that translates to “The Austin Weirdos,” will return for three games this season with some weird-inspired giveaways.

On Jan. 21, fans who bring new, packaged underwear to donate to the team’s underwear drive will receive a Los Raros de Austin mascot-inspired pair of tighty whities. The final Los Raros de Austin game of the season on Feb. 10 will feature a pool noodle giveaway. Players will wear Los Raros de Austin-themed uniforms and warmup tops for the three games.
Austin will host three Fiesta Nights throughout the season on Nov. 20, Feb. 11 and March 10. Players will debut new Austin Fiesta Edition uniforms modeled after San Antonio’s historic tradition as the team brings Fiesta to the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park.
Additional games that feature themed jerseys this season are Superhero Night on Nov. 5 when the first 3,000 fans will receive a comic book, Ugly Sweater Night on Dec. 2 to get fans in the holiday spirit, the Dream Game on Jan. 16 honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Military Night on Jan. 20 to recognize those who have or are currently serving our country, and Kids Night on Feb. 26.
