The San Antonio Spurs are slated to make a significant overseas trip next season, participating in two regular-season NBA games in Paris, France. This international excursion will mark a poignant homecoming for Victor Wembanyama, the NBA’s top draft pick of the previous year, who grew up in the Paris region.
The Spurs will face off against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday, January 23, and Saturday, January 25, 2025. Details such as the venue and game times will be announced later. These games represent a notable milestone, as it will be the first time the NBA has scheduled two regular-season games in Paris within the same season.
