The 2025 NBA G League has honored Austin Spurs’ head coach, Scott King, as the Coach of the Year, a well-deserved recognition for his debut season. King has expertly guided the team into the NBA G League playoffs, securing the No. 2 seed in the fiercely competitive Western Conference. They ended the regular season with an impressive 22-12 record, mirroring the top standings held by the Stockton Kings with an overall tally of 32-18.
Under King’s leadership, Austin dominated the league’s defensive metrics, claiming the top spot with a defensive rating of 102.3. Their tenacious defense also ranked them third in steals per game, with an average of 10.1, and they clinched the fourth position in blocks and rebounds per game, recording 6.6 and 48.4 respectively. The team set an outstanding record this season by achieving the largest margin of victory ever seen in the league at +23.5.
This season has marked a triumphant return to form for the Spurs, as they reached the Western Conference Semifinals for the first time since 2018—a year when they clinched the NBA G League Championship, triumphing over the Raptors 905.
