NBA action heads to Paris with two exciting matchups between the Spurs and Pacers on January 23rd and 25th at Accor Arena in Paris. For the first time, the league will host two regular-season games in the French capital within the same season, an event aptly named the “Paris Games 2025.”
The spotlight shines on young stars Victor Wembanyama and Tyrese Haliburton, who last faced off in the Olympic final. The Spurs (19-22) bring veteran leadership with Olympic champions Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes. The Pacers (24-19), currently fifth in the East, counter with recent addition Pascal Siakam and Andrew Nembhard.
For Wembanyama, it’s a homecoming to French soil where he’ll aim to spark a turnaround in the Spurs’ season. The Pacers look to build on their strong position in the playoff race, though they’ll face an enthusiastic Paris crowd likely supporting their countryman.
The Spurs’ towering star and top pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, who also claimed Rookie of the Year honors, has been sensational this season, averaging 24.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals, and a league-leading 4.0 blocks per game.
Meanwhile, Haliburton of the Pacers will also return to a city of significance. Fresh off a gold-medal-winning performance with Team USA in Paris during last summer’s Olympics, Haliburton has been pivotal for Indiana, averaging 17.9 points, 8.8 assists, and 3.6 rebounds per game.
Thursday’s contest will count as a “home” game for the Pacers, while Saturday’s clash designates them as the “visitors.” Fans can expect an electric atmosphere as these two teams square off in a global showcase of basketball excellence.
