Victor Wembanyama did not hide his enthusiasm at the idea of coming to Paris next year to play at least one meeting with Spurs.
French prodigy Victor Wembanyama and his San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich indicated at a press conference on Sunday that the San Antonio Spurs would play at least one match in Paris next season.
After the Spurs’ victory against the Brooklyn Nets (122-115 after overtime), Gregg Popovich was first asked about the importance of this first success in Austin, where the Spurs played a few matches «domicile» outside their usual venue at the Frost Bank Center.
“I don’t care where we win, it could well be Timbuktu”he said with a smile before being repeated a little later in Paris: “well here we go”he simply smiled.
Over the past two seasons, the NBA has relocated a championship poster to the French capital, for example with a Cleveland Cavaliers – Brooklyn Nets match last January. Although the league has yet to officially reveal its plans, the San Antonio Spurs and their star Victor Wembanyama are expected to play in Paris next season. “I’m eager to. This match or these matches will be very important for me, it’s where I come from, it’s my city.commented the 20-year-old Frenchman. “It will also allow me to see my family in peak season, it’s perfect.”
