Spurs star Victor Wembanyama's frustration boiled over against the Clippers when he was shoved to the court by Ivica Zubac.

"It's very possible that he'll be the face of basketball. Not just NBA basketball, but world basketball," said Pacers coach Rick Carlisle.

The story, as Buford tells it, goes like this: Claudio Crippa, an international scout for the Spurs, proposed going to see a youth game before checking out Doumbouya. Buford saw Wembanyama play for the first time that day. And the seeds for the Spurs’ new master plan were immediately planted.

I just want to underline that this week was amazing,” Spurs star Victor Wembanyama said after Saturday's game versus the Pacers.

There were a slew of moments that made Frenchman Victor Wembanyama's trip back to Paris this week worth remembering.

Victor Wembanyama was ready to become the world’s tallest kickboxer on Wednesday night.

Tyrese Haliburton's 3-point barrage and the Pacers' full-court pressure helped Indiana beat the Spurs by 38 in Paris after Thursday's 30-point loss.

The main events start Thursday when Wembanyama and the Spurs take on the Indiana Pacers in the first of two games in Paris. The rematch is Saturday, both happening at Accor Arena, the same building where Wembanyama played in the knockout round of the Paris Olympics last summer when he and France wound up losing to the U.S. in the gold-medal game.
