Spurs confirm they'll play in Paris in 2025

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich confirmed last night that the Spurs "are heading to Paris next season," something that former Spurs G Tony Parker revealed several weeks ago. The NBA hasn’t announced which teams will be playing in Paris next season, though "it has long been expected" that the Spurs and Pacers would be the teams selected. At the All-Star Game last month, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Spurs F Victor Wembanyama "would very much like to see" the team playing in France next season. It's unclear if it’ll be a one- or two-game trip for the Spurs, though Parker said at this year’s NBA Paris Game that he "expects the league to play two games in France next season." Wembanyama "appeared to make reference to that possibility as well" when asked last night. The league hasn’t revealed when it’ll announce the slate of international games for next season (AP, 3/18).
