Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs at the NBA Paris Game 2025?
Passionately passionate about basketball, Victor Wembanyama moved to San Antonio to follow the Spurs after graduating from IEJ, constantly focused on the NBA, both on the court and in statistics and contracts.
What if Victor Wembanyama were to return to play in France in 2025? As the NBA Paris Game approaches between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Brooklyn Nets, rumors are already circulating that the San Antonio Spurs will participate in the next edition.
According to The Athletic, Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs have already been designated to participate in the next edition of the NBA Paris Game. Although nothing has been officially confirmed yet, they are expected to succeed the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Brooklyn Nets, who will compete in France this Thursday, January 11.
According to Joe Vardon of The Athletic, Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs are one of two teams scheduled for the NBA Paris Game 2025. The franchise has already given its preliminary agreement and is preparing for the event. However, nothing has been signed or finalized yet.
Unprecedented excitement in France
The excitement for this match would certainly be unprecedented in France. The teams that have traveled to Paris in recent years did not have the same media appeal as Victor Wembanyama, who will certainly be accompanied by the Frenchman Sidy Cissoko – and maybe even a new French rookie.
Last season, with the Metropolitans 92, the phenomenon had already managed to fill the Accor Arena on several occasions. Bringing together 15,000 people again for an event as rare as an NBA game in France should be well within reach. Especially with the San Antonio Spurs, popular in the country thanks to Tony Parker’s long career in Texas.
For the moment, the Cavaliers and the Nets
Before hosting Wemby and the Spurs, the Accor Arena will first host the match between the Cavaliers and the Nets this Thursday. With the presence on the court of Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen, and Mikal Bridges, the match will not be lacking in flavor. Ironically, Cleveland has just beaten Wembanyama and his team before heading to France.
