Victor Wembanyama made his return to Accor Arena in Paris, France. The last time he was there, in August, he had to watch in tears with a silver medal around his neck as Team USA won their fifth gold medal in a row.

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.

The main events start Thursday when Wembanyama and the Spurs take on the Indiana Pacers in the first of two games in Paris. The rematch is Saturday, both happening at Accor Arena, the same building where Wembanyama played in the knockout round of the Paris Olympics last summer when he and France wound up losing to the U.S. in the gold-medal game.
