Wemby, Spurs to face Pacers twice in Paris in '25
Written by I Dig Sports
Victor Wembanyama will return to his native France next year to lead the San Antonio Spurs in two regular-season games against the Indiana Pacers.
The NBA Paris Games 2025 will take place on Jan. 23 and 25, the league announced Monday.
Wembanyama, the presumptive 2023-24 NBA Rookie of the Year, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft after starring for Metropolitans 92 in the French capital.
The 20-year-old Wembanyama averaged 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and a league-leading 3.6 blocks per game this season. The 7-foot-4 center averaged 29.7 minutes in 71 games (all starts).
These will be the third and fourth games for the Spurs in Paris, having last played there in a 2006 preseason game. Indiana has never played a game in France.
