According to information from RMC Sport radio, the NBA will soon broadcast the French League matches of the Metropolitans 92, where the expected future first pick of the NBA draft, Victor Wembanyama, competes. His games with the French club will be accessible on the NBA League Pass platform, commented on in English, and the NBA will buy the rights from the French LNB league.
The negotiations went even further since the NBA will also buy the rights to the Leaders Cup, the play-offs, and the highlights of the French championship.
Wembanyama blew away the basketball public in the US during a promotional tour in the States with Metropolitans playing twice against G-League team Ignite. He confirmed his talents and showcased his skills in front of numerous NBA executives.
The French prodigy scored 37 points in a loss against Ignite, 36 with 11 rebounds, and four blocks and assist during the second game that ended up victorious for Metropolitans 92 on the American turf. At the beginning of the season in LNB, Wembanyama averages 18,6 points for Vincent Collet’s team.
