The San Antonio Spurs said au revoir to San Antonio this week and bonjour to Paris, where the team will face off against the Indiana Pacers at the Accor Arena on Thursday and Saturday.

This week’s NBA games in Paris aren’t the association’s first to be held outside of the U.S., but they are particularly special for Spurs’ French superstar Victor Wembanyama, who will return to play in the famous city of love after playing for France in the 2024 Summer Olympics this past year.

Since Wembanyama — nicknamed “Wemby” by the black-and-silver fanbase — started playing for the Spurs, San Antonians say they have noticed much more excitement surrounding the franchise, as well as positive economic impacts.
