The Spurs prepare for two critical games against the Pacers in Paris, featuring Victor Wembanyama and Coach Popovich`s recovery.

The San Antonio Spurs are set to face the Indiana Pacers in the NBA Paris Games, with the first matchup scheduled for Thursday at 10 PM CST. Currently, the Spurs hold a record of 19 wins and 22 losses and are eager to turn around their recent struggles against formidable opponents. The second game will follow on Saturday at 110 AM CST. Both games will be broadcast on KENS 5 and NBA TV, with one game designated as a home game for the Spurs.

Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs` standout center from France, is making headlines not only on the court but also off it. He has been actively participating in events in Paris, including attending a UEFA Champions League match and unveiling basketball courts in his hometown. This season, Wembanyama is averaging 12.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 3.9 blocks per game, showcasing his potential as a rising star in the league.

The Spurs will face a tough challenge against the Pacers, who are currently ranked third in defensive rating and fourth in offensive rating for January. With a record of 24 wins and 19 losses, the Pacers play at the 19th-fastest pace in the league, which could significantly influence the Spurs` defensive strategy.

In addition to the on-court action, Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich is reportedly improving each week following his stroke, although a timeline for his return remains uncertain. RC Buford, a Spurs executive, has provided updates on Popovich`s health and discussed the team`s international presence and connections with European basketball.
