New NBA pre-season night, another rich night for the French with the first steps of Victor Wembanyama with Chris Paul, but also episode II of the French Connexion in Washington.
The evening program:
- Washington Wizards – New York Knicks à 1h30
- Orlando Magic – San Antonio Spurs à 2h
- Houston Rockets – Oklahoma City Thunder à 2h
- Golden State Warriors – Sacramento Kings à 4h30
The great beginnings of Victor Wembanyama
Since the start of the pre-season, the young French have been enjoying themselves. From Tidjane Salaün to Zaccharie Risacher via Alexandre Sarr, the newcomers are succeeding in their first steps.
Now for the one who is certainly the most anticipated of all: Victor Wembanyama. Head to Texas at 2 a.m. to see Wemby don the Spurs colors to challenge the Magic. This match is also the opportunity to see Chris Paul make his debut in San Antonio. The Wemby x CP3 collab has made us quiver with impatience since it was announced and the first alley-oop between the two will bring the crowds to their feet.

The Alien is not the only Frenchman to put on the sneakers this evening. Heading to the capital to see Alexandre Sarr and Bilal Coulibaly challenge Karl-Anthony Towns’ Knicks. The number 2 in the Draft had a successful debut with 15 points and a magnificent 3/4 shooting from the Lincoln Memorial despite the defeat suffered by Washington.
Double dose de clasico
At 2 a.m., it’s also time for Twitterico between Rockets and Thunder. A duel that has unleashed the fanbases of the two franchises on social networks for several years and which is back for a spin this season.
Want another reason to watch this match? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander begins his season. After an MVP-caliber campaign, SGA will get ready to go in search of the trophy that slipped through its hands last season.
To end this night, it’s time for a new duel between Warriors and Kings. Stephen Curry vs the Kings trio, a great showing for two teams who have high ambitions this year. Enough to allow the Chief to adjust the sights for the coming season and De’Aaron Fox to warm up his engine, he who is considered the fastest player in the League by the General Managers of the League.
