We finally know the poster! After offering the Parisian and European public tempting duels between the Bucks of Giannis Antetokoúnmpo and the Hornets of Nicolas Batum in 2020, then between the legendary Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons of Frenchy Killian Hayes last January, the prestigious American basketball league announced on Wednesday the names of the two teams that will come to compete in Paris for the 3rd edition of the “NBA Paris Game”. They are the Brooklyn Nets and the Cleveland Cavalier. The match will take place on Thursday January 11, 2024 at the Accor Arena.
“We are delighted to bring the NBA experience back to Paris with two exciting teams, the Brooklyn Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers, is satisfied Mark Tatum, n°2 of the NBA power. This game has become a destination for our passionate fans across Europe and it will build on the incredible momentum around basketball and the NBA in France and across the region. »

Unlike the first two editions – and despite a strong contingent of players including the phenomenon Victor Wembanyama, n°1 of the last draft and now a player for the San Antonio Spurs -, no Frenchman is included this time in the workforce of these two teams. . A situation which may however still evolve in the coming weeks with the opening of the summer transfer period. Many rumors also announce the arrival of Wemby and Spurs for the 4th edition in 2025.
If the poster also does not appear to be the most attractive, the match promises to be much more undecided and exciting between two teams who both participated in the playoffs last season.
The show should be there with the presence of players such as Donovan Mitchell – the former partner of Rudy Gobert in Utah scored a game with 71 points last January – or the “All Stars” Jarrett Allen and Darius Garland on the Cleveland side. The Nets will be able to count on the presence of Ben Simmons, three-time All Star. Ambitious, the other New York team could strengthen during the summer.
Many events and animations should animate the whole week of the match. “Off the field, our players and our coaches will greatly benefit from immersion in the rich Parisian culture,” said Sean Marks, General Manager of Brooklyn. “We are extremely honored, as an organization, to present the Cleveland Cavaliers in Paris, continues in a press release Koby Altman, president of operations of Cleveland. This unique opportunity will allow our players, coaches, staff and families to experience a different culture, while creating memories on and off the pitch that will live on forever. »
