France’s Victor Wembanyama could not prevent his San Antonio Spurs side suffering a 136-98 defeat by the Indiana Pacers in Paris.

Having been beaten 140-110 by the Spurs on Thursday in the first of two regular-season NBA games played in the French capital, the Pacers avenged that defeat with a convincing win.

Tyrese Haliburton scored a game-high 28 points while Pacers team-mate Pascal Siakam added 23 points.

Wembanyama, who played for Paris-based Metropolitans 92 before being selected by the Spurs as the number one overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, managed 20 points and 12 rebounds as his team-mate Harrison Barnes contributed 25 points at the Accor Arena.

This is the fourth year that the NBA has staged regular-season matches in Paris.

“It’s been really fun to be here,” said Haliburton. “It’s helping grow the game, the opportunity from the league has been amazing.

“We just wanted to leave the city on a good note. I thought it was a really good showing from us tonight and just want to carry this momentum going forward.”
