Salesian Sisters root for Spurs in 2026 NBA Finals

The Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco, longtime San Antonio Spurs fans, have gained attention during the 2026 NBA Finals. Known as the "Spurs nuns," this group has attended games for decades, wearing Spurs gear and showing support at courtside. Their fandom started in the 2000s, initiated by elder sisters in their convent. The sisters aim to connect with young people through sports, leveraging their love for the game as a conversation starter. They have garnered significant online popularity, with over 70,000 followers on social media, and have been seen interacting with players including Victor Wembanyama. Ahead of Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals, they held a private watch party rather than making the trip to Oklahoma City.
