The San Antonio Spurs are the NBA’s cleanest team, with minimal fines and suspensions.
SAN ANTONIO — When it comes to keeping it clean on the court, the San Antonio Spurs are the best in the NBA.
A recent list from RotoWire ranked the dirtiest teams in the NBA from 2015-25. It was measured by team fines and suspensions given by the league. Additionally, it utilized Spotrac’s “NBA Fines & Suspensions” database, which compiles fines, fine totals, suspensions and games lost.
And the Silver and Black ranked No. 30, making them the least dirty team.
Over the time span, the Spurs have racked up 155 fines, totaling $449,000, and two player suspensions, resulting in six total games being suspended.
Clearly, this is a reflection on former head coach Gregg Popovich and his conviction that players should approach wins and losses with grace. It also shows the strong on-court leadership from players over time like David Robinson, Manu Ginobili, Tim Duncan (who once pulled Tony Parker by the jersey away from arguing with a ref and flirting with getting tossed), and Avery Johnson.
AUSTIN SPURS COMPLETE TRADE WITH THE BLUE
The Austin Spurs completed a trade with the Oklahoma City Blue, receiving the returning player rights of Adam Flagler in exchange for the rights of Malachi Flynn, the No. 13 pick in the 2025 G League Draft, and a second-round pick in the 2026 G League Draft.
