NBA Paris Games: Schedule for Wembanyama, Spurs vs. Pacers

The NBA is bringing regular-season basketball back to Paris this week, and the face of France’s exploding basketball scene will be the star of the league’s latest international showcase event. Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs are facing the Indiana Pacers in back-to-back games over three days beginning Thursday at Accor Arena. It’s the first time the NBA is playing multiple games in Paris.

It’s a homecoming for Wembanyama, who grew up outside the French capital and starred for the Metropolitans 92 there before becoming the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA draft. The 7-foot-3 center has blossomed further after his successful rookie of the year campaign, and the Spurs (19-22) are on pace for their best season since 2018-19. That’s the last time the franchise made the NBA playoffs.

The Pacers (24-19) got off to a rocky start after last year’s run to the Eastern Conference finals, but they’ve gotten hot to start 2025 to move up to fifth place in the East standings through Tuesday’s games. Point guard Tyrese Haliburton will be playing in the same arena in which he won a gold medal for Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics in August against Wembanyama and France. The accomplishment came with mixed emotions, and perhaps a chance for redemption over the coming days, because Haliburton didn’t play in the gold medal game and hardly played at all throughout the Olympic tournament.

There are plenty of storylines as the NBA plays regular-season basketball in Paris for the third consecutive year, and fourth time since 2020. Here’s more information on this week’s schedule, as well as how to watch the San Antonio Spurs vs. Indiana Pacers at the NBA Paris Games 2025:
