When it comes to international games, the NFL mostly dominates the sports conversation with its various ventures to Europe, Brazil, and elsewhere.

But the NBA actually preceded the NFL in playing regular-season games overseas, and that tradition will continue during the 2024–25 season. The NBA Paris Games take place this week with the San Antonio Spurs, who feature French superstar Victor Wembanyama, having a pair of matchups against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday and Saturday.
