The Indiana Pacers are in Paris to take on the San Antonio Spurs and their French-born superstar Victor Wembanyama on Thursday. The Pacers arrived Monday morning and will be there through Saturday's game and don't have another game in the U.S. until Wednesday at home against the Pistons.

Speaking in Paris, Silver said he thought some of the NBA's injury problems were caused by "repetition," and kids should play more sports.

It's been more than two decades since the last NBA expansion. In 2004, the league added the Charlotte Bobcats, a team that rebranded as the Charlotte Hornets.

After commissioner Adam Silver talked about the possibility of an NBA Europe league on Thursday, Wemby shined with 30 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and five blocks in a Spurs rout.

Wemby finished the night with 30 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, and 5 blocked shots as the Spurs won 140-110, San Antonio’s second-largest victory margin of the season and Indiana’s second-largest defeat margin.

Wemby’s first NBA game in France was a smashing success, as he went off for 30 points in the Spurs’ 140-110 win over the Pacers.

Welcome home, Wemby. Wembanyama played in his homeland on Thursday — the star attraction in this two-game set of games between San Antonio and Indiana, a series that concludes on Saturday night.

In August, during the Paris Olympics, Silver said in an interview with The Associated Press that the league had started ramping up talks with FIBA, the sport’s global governing body, on adding either an annual competition in Europe or even having an NBA-operated league.

PARIS (AP) — Officially, Indiana will be the home team on the scoreboard when it plays San Antonio in Paris on Thursday. The Pacers know better. They will not be feeling right at home. “It’s going to be a big crowd against us, honestly,” Indiana guard Andrew Nembhard said.
