Pete Anton, the Spurs’ longest tentured employee, has passed away at age 93 following complications from a stroke. He was also the NBA’s oldest active employee. Per Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express News:
Anton joined the Spurs as a media services assistant in 1973, the club’s first season in San Antonio after moving from Dallas. The only employee remaining from that inaugural Alamo City campaign, Anton spent 46 years in the organization, working throughout the 2018-19 season.
He outlasted 11 head coaches and saw more than 300 players cycle through the organization.
