Spurs, Pacers to play 2 regular-season games in Paris next season
Victor Wembanyama is heading home.
The San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers will square off in Paris for a pair of regular-season contests next season, the league announced Monday.
The matchups will take place on Jan. 23 and 25, but no venue has been chosen yet.
It will be the NBA's third trip to the French capital in as many years.
The Spurs had deep ties to French basketball prior to selecting Wembanyama and Sidy Cissoko with the first and 44th overall pick, respectively, in last year's NBA draft.
Tony Parker, Boris Diaw, and Nando de Colo are among the Frenchmen that have suited up for San Antonio in previous seasons.
"Playing in Paris has been an incredible experience for our organization in the past and we are thrilled for the opportunity to be a part of The NBA Paris Games 2025," Spurs CEO RC Buford said in a statement. "Thanks to our deep international history, we are fortunate to have Spurs fans in France, across Europe and around the world.
"We are excited to continue to honor that legacy by purposefully connecting and engaging with our fans in France on and off the court."
