For his big debut alongside Victor Wembanyama, Chris Paul will be spoiled since he will be entitled to a Texas derby, and not just any derby. According to Marc Steinthe Spurs will be the last to resume the season, on October 24, and it will be in Dallas against the recent NBA finalists.
In October 2023, Wembanyama had already started his career against the Mavericks, but it was in San Antonio. Last season, the Spurs and the Mavericks had faced each other four times, and the record was clear and clear: 4-0 for the Mavericks.

Furthermore, this meeting will be Klay Thompson's first in the colors of Dallas, and it will therefore be in front of his new audience, and against his former teammates, Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes. The “Splash Brother” will have to wait until November 12 to meet the Warriors again, at the Chase Center.
