“Wemby” in Paris, it’s only a matter of weeks! The NBA should indeed soon confirm the arrival of Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs in the French capital for a regular season match in early 2025.
If he did not make the news official this Wednesday, the boss of the powerful American league Adam Silver made no secret of his desire to bring in the number 1 of the last draft and his team for the next NBA match relocated to France.
“First I have excellent news to tell you: I can confirm that the NBA will return to Paris for a new match in Paris 2025,” he confided in a palace in the capital. However, I can’t tell you which team will be present but, in my mind, I really want to bring one. A franchise has a really good chance of being there. I promise you that we are working hard on this file to make it move forward quickly. I hope that in the next two months, maybe even in a few weeks, we will be able to announce the poster for this match in Paris. »
Everyone will have read between the lines. Victor Wembanyama the first and the former player of Nanterre and Mets 92 of Boulogne-Levallois can already be seen there. “If that happens, I will feel very, very lucky,” he declared this Wednesday after his recital against the Detroit Pistons (first triple double of his career). It will really be different. I also imagine that I would have a little advantage of playing at home. This would probably be one of the most intense and valuable matches of my life. »
All that remains is to find a suitable room. Faced with the undoubtedly crazy demand for tickets, it is rumored that the bill traditionally organized at the Accor Arena could move to the Paris La Défense Arena, capable of accommodating more people. A room commensurate with the talent and growing popularity of the French prodigy.
