Chris Paul of the San Antonio Spurs was surprised by Victor Wembanyama’s performance in the NBA game played in Paris, France, against the Pacers during the 2024-2025 season. On Thursday night, the San Antonio Spurs faced off against the Indiana Pacers in a game with a unique twist—it wasn’t held in the United States.

The Pacers will likely have to contend with a crowd that will be rooting for the Spurs in both games. With Victor Wembanyama playing in his home country, most fans will be rooting for him and San Antonio. Indiana still feels good about their chances to win both games. They have been playing too well not to be filled with a ton of confidence.
