League Search Page > NBA > San Antonio Spurs > Roster & Statistics

The 1991–92 San Antonio Spurs were built around David Robinson, whose elite scoring, rebounding, and shot blocking established him as the team’s unquestioned centerpiece. Willie Anderson and Sean Elliott supplied consistent secondary scoring, while Terry Cummings added frontcourt production and Avery Johnson handled primary playmaking duties. The statistical profile reflects a balanced team that emphasized interior efficiency, rebounding, and defensive presence, with complementary perimeter contributors supporting Robinson’s dominant all-around impact.

David Robinson Starter/Star 37.7 High 23.2 12.2 2.7 6.8 118.01 Patrolling the paint as the league’s most dominant defensive force, Robinson paired elite rim protection with highly efficient scoring. His 4.5 blocks and 2.3 steals per game created a rare defensive profile, while his mobility allowed San Antonio to build its entire system around his two-way impact. NBA Defensive Player of the Year (1992), All-Star (1992), All-NBA First Team (1992), All-Defensive First Team (1992), MVP Voting 3rd (1992)
Sean Elliott Starter/Star 38.0 High 16.3 5.4 2.6 1.4 67.58 Operating as the primary wing scorer, Elliott brought athleticism, transition finishing and dependable perimeter offense. His ability to score without monopolizing possessions made him an ideal complement to Robinson’s interior dominance.
Terry Cummings Starter/Star 30.7 High 17.3 9.0 1.5 1.3 73.39 Working as a featured frontcourt option beside Robinson, Cummings provided physical low-post scoring and rugged rebounding. He remained a reliable source of offense, particularly when games slowed into half-court battles.
Rod Strickland Starter/Star 36.0 High 13.8 4.6 8.6 2.4 77.62 Directing the offense with creativity and pace, Strickland constantly pressured defenses off the dribble.
