There’s a girl — a kid reporter — asking Wemby a question in the postgame news conference. She might be 12. She looks petrified to talk to someone who is basically a national hero. And he’s handling it with perfect grace. Very cool moment. – 5:33 PM

Victor Wembanyama addressed the crowd in French before the game.
“I don’t know what Victor said before the game, but whatever he said worked,” Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said.
Spurs won 140-110. – 4:42 PM

The hype was real around Victor Wembanyama and the second-year star is now reshaping the NBA as we know it.

A complete performance from Wemby in his return to France: game-high 30pts, 11rebs, 6asts, 5blks.
Put on a show for his fans and did so with ease. – 4:13 PM

This game got away from the Pacers in the 3rd. Just brutal.
Outscored 45-23 — the most by an opponent all season — and the Pacers trail 105-80 after 3.
Wemby leads all with 24/11. – 3:52 PM

I hope Wemby in Paris becomes an annual thing moving forward. He’s going to be the face of the league very soon, and giving him a signature slot on the regular season schedule makes plenty of sense. – 3:50 PM

Big cheers for Wemby as he returns. They went from up 13 to up 20 as he sat for about four minutes.
Pacers now down 20 — and it hasn’t been pretty. – 3:43 PM

Pacers beginning to hit the floor for pregame warmups. This one is their home game so they’re going to make it feel like GFH as much as possible despite Wemby returning home.
