The main events start Thursday when Wembanyama and the Spurs take on the Indiana Pacers in the first of two games in Paris. The rematch is Saturday, both happening at Accor Arena, the same building where Wembanyama played in the knockout round of the Paris Olympics last summer when he and France wound up losing to the U.S. in the gold-medal game.

On Thursday, the Indiana Pacers will play the first of their long-awaited Paris games against the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs, led by Victor Wembanyama, will certainly have the crowd on their side, although the Pacers have only lost one game this month and the Spurs are in the middle of a slow streak.
