The 2019–20 San Antonio Spurs season was the 53rd season of the franchise, its 44th in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and its 47th in the San Antonio area. For the first time since the 1996–97 season, the Spurs failed to qualify for the postseason when the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Milwaukee Bucks on August 13, 2020, snapping their 22-year consecutive playoff streak and finishing with a losing record. This was only the second time under Gregg Popovich's tenure that the Spurs failed to make the playoffs. After their 22-year playoff streak was snapped, the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League owned the longest active playoff streak in any major North American sports league making the playoffs every year from 2006–07 to 2021-22. The Houston Rockets held the longest active playoff streak in the NBA, making the playoffs every year from 2012–13 to 2020–21.[1]
