After the San Antonio Spurs’ win over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday night, coach Gregg Popovich and star rookie Victor Wembanyama both said their team will play in France next season.
The NBA has played three regular-season games in France since 2020 but hasn’t announced which teams will play there next season. Despite nothing being official, it’s expected that the Spurs will be one of those teams given the fact that Wembanyama was born in Le Chesnay, France, a suburb of Paris.
Sunday’s game was played in Austin, Texas, approximately 80 miles up the road from San Antonio, and when discussing where the team could possibly play next season, one reporter quipped, “How about Paris?”
