The Target Center racket will be tinted blue, white and red tonight. Rudy Gobert and Victor Wembanyama, teammates during the Paris Olympic Games in 2024, will fit into the buffet. The two men are among the favorites for the Defender of the Year title and will want to show themselves in this French duel at the top.
