The rumors were right. The NBA has just confirmed that the Spurs of Victor Wembanyama and the Pacers of Tyrese Haliburton will challenge each other in Paris, in a double confrontation, January 23 and 25, 2025 !
A double bill which is enough to make French fans salivate, with obviously the presence of the “Wemby” phenomenon, after the disappointing duel between the Cavaliers and the Nets last January.
The two meetings should take place at the Accor Arena in Bercy, which can accommodate up to 15,000 people in basketball configuration. This therefore makes a double dose of NBA for French fans, on Thursday and Saturday, with the possibility that it will pull down (a little) the ticket prices…
For the Spurs and the Pacers, it will in any case make a long Parisian getaway. Because by taking into account the plane journeys and the necessary recovery in relation to the time difference, we are potentially talking about a week outside the United States. In the heart of the regular season marathon, it's not easy to fit in.
Paris, we're coming back!! … And for
Spurs Pacers. January 23 and 25, 2025#NBAParis Games 2025 presented by @tissot
