The NBA officially confirmed plans for The NBA Paris Games 2025 presented by Tissot on Monday.
The San Antonio Spurs and the Indiana Pacers will face each other on Thursday, January 23, and Saturday, January 25, 2025, in Paris. Two games of the same Regular Season in France mark a first for the league based in North America.
“Playing in Paris has been an incredible experience for our organization in the past and we are thrilled for the opportunity to be a part of The NBA Paris Games 2025,” pointed out Spurs CEO R.C. Buford, “Thanks to our deep international history, we are fortunate to have Spurs fans in France, across Europe and around the world. We are excited to continue to honor that legacy by purposefully connecting and engaging with our fans in France on and off the court.”
“The Pacers enjoy tremendous support from fans globally, and we are excited about the opportunity to be a part of the NBA’s efforts to continue bringing the game to new generations of fans all around the world,” added Pacers president of basketball operations, Kevin Pritchard, Pacers President of Basketball Operations.
A visit to the capital of his home country with the Spurs will easily fit among the major highlights of Victor Wembanyama’s sophomore NBA campaign. “It is probably going to be one of the most intense and precious games in my life if it happens,” the French wunderkind shared his excitement commenting on reports in January.
