Victor Wembanyama discusses the effect of Tony Parker being in the NBA while it’s set in France. (0:22)
The NBA Paris 2025 games are officially ongoing, while the San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers participate in the Fourth and Fifth Games of the NBA in Paris this week.
The occasion of this year marks the first time that the League has played two normal seasonal games in the French capital the same season. San Antonio won the first assembly 140-110 on Thursday, and the two groups will play the moment on Saturday (noon and ESPN). The culture began in 2020 when the Milwaukee Bucks and the Charlotte Hornets faced and resumed in 2023 after two years free.
This season’s edition marks the return of Spurs center Victor Wembanyama to his home country as the 2023 No. 1 pick played in his first NBA game in France. Wembanyama has had a busy week — also attending a Louis Vuitton fashion show and a Paris Saint-Germain match.
However, there are plenty of activities outside the box in Paris and the two have made sure to capitalize on the moments.
Here are the sights and sounds of the NBA Paris 2025 games.
Big names made sure to make the trip to Paris on Thursday.
Spurs legends Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and David Robinson were in attendance, posing alongside Basketball Hall of Famers Oscar Robertson and Pau Gasol. The WNBA was well-represented with New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu and Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink.

Some of the NFL’s most recognizable wide receivers sat courtside, too. The Dallas Cowboys’ CeeDee Lamb, Cincinnati Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase and Odell Beckham Jr. posed for a photo together.

Wembanyama drafted as an NBA No. 1 pick nearly two years ago. The French superstar is back in his details for his first NBA Paris adjustment with San Antonio.

The Pacers made sure to pose near the 1,083-foot monument, locally nicknamed “The Iron Lady,” in Paris.

Paris is known as the “city of love” without any reason. The palans striker Obi Toppin capitalized the moment to propose to his fiancee Mag Bellinger.
During the 2023 NBA Paris Games, then-Chicago Bulls forward Derrick Jones Jr. also proposed to his girlfriend.

Wembanyama is more than a basketball player. The average 7 -inch medium of 7 inches and the Spurs were provided to see German Paris against Manchester City.
