“Two Spurs matches in Paris in 2025 will be crazy!” : when Tony Parker spills the beans (video)

It's a scoop from Tony Parker. While he was questioned about the return of the NBA to Paris for a match in 2025, Thursday, on the sidelines of the Cleveland-Brooklyn meeting (111-102) at the Accor Arena, the quadruple champion with the Spurs spoke a little excited on Canal: “It’s very good news to have Spurs next year, it will be incredible. Plus, two matches… It’ll be crazy!” Except that no one had said that there will be two matches in 2025. The journalist from the encrypted channel pointed this out to him, and “TP” tried to drown the point by saying that he was only repeating the terms of the question asked of him. Except that in fact, it was only him who talked about two matches during this exchange… Laspus? We can doubt it. The most likely hypothesis is therefore that the said “TP”, visibly in the know, simply spilled the beans!

Note that the big boss of the NBA had previously mentioned the idea of ​​a double bill on the Parisian boards, but was much less affirmative. “We thought about offering more matches. In terms of efficiency, given the scale of the operation of bringing two teams here, we have had conversations with teams who, once here, could play a second match against each other before returning to the United States. “It’s something we’re potentially even considering for next season,” David Stern’s successor said. In 2011, the London public had already been treated to a “back to back”, i.e. two matches in two installments. It was in 2011, for the first NBA London Games. According to various sources, including The Athletic, it is Tyrese Haliburton's Pacers who should respond to the Spurs.
