Spurs and Pacers stay busy ahead of 2025 NBA Paris Games

The 2025 NBA Paris Games are officially here as the San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers will participate in the NBA's fourth and fifth games in Paris this week, starting on Thursday (2 p.m. ET on NBA TV).

This year's games mark the first time that the league will play two regular-season games in the French capital in the same season. Indiana and San Antonio will play the second game on Saturday (noon EST on ESPN). The tradition first began in 2020 when the Milwaukee Bucks and Charlotte Hornets faced off and resumed in 2023 after two years off.

This season's edition means the return of Spurs center Victor Wembanyama to his home country. The 2023 No. 1 pick will participate in his first NBA game in France. Wembanyama's had a busy week -- attending a Louis Vuitton fashion show and a Paris Saint-Germain match.

However, off the court activities are plenty in Paris and both teams made sure to capitalize on the moments.

Here are the top sights and sounds from the 2025 NBA Paris Games.

Pacers, Spurs arrive ahead of action


Full-circle moment for Wemby

Wembanyama was drafted as the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft nearly two years ago. The French superstar is back in his element in his first NBA Paris game with San Antonio.

The Pacers made sure to pose near the 1,083 monument, locally nicknamed "The Iron Lady," in Paris.


A proposal to remember

Paris isn't known as the "City of Love" for no reason. Pacers forward Obi Toppin capitalized on the moment by proposing to his now fiancée Mag.

During the 2023 NBA Paris Games, then-Chicago Bulls forward Derrick Jones Jr. also proposed to his girlfriend.


Spurs in the house to support Paris-Saint German

Wembanyama is more than just a basketball player. The 7-foot-3 center and the Spurs were in attendance to see Paris-Saint German take on Manchester City.


Wemby unveils self-designed courts in hometown

Wembanyama's homecoming to France was bigger than his bout against the Pacers. A native of Le Chesnay, about 12 miles south of Paris, Wembanyama stopped by a park he grew up in with a gift that'll last a lifetime. -- READ MORE
