Everything you need to know about the NBA Paris Game
The NBA Global Games programme has taken the league to arenas across Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and the Americas for decades, with the very first overseas games dating back to 1978 when the Washington Bullets played exhibition matches in Israel, China and the Philippines.
It has since grown into one of the league's key growth strategies, mixing preseason exhibitions with genuine regular season fixtures designed to bring NBA basketball to fan bases who rarely get to see it live.
In January 2025, the European basketball spotlight fell solely on Paris. Both encounters between the San Antonio Spurs and the Indiana Pacers were full of points, that kept the fans that crammed into the Accor Arena on the edge of their seat throughout the four quarters.
Those Paris games may have both been points fests, but they still don’t come close to the most memorable NBA encounter in Europe. Back in 2011, the Toronto Raptors and the New Jersey Nets clashed in London. In a thrilling encounter that needed three further periods of Overtime to decide the winner, the O2 Arena audience saw a staggering 273 points scored, with the Italian centre, Andrea Bargnani, starring and netting 35 points for the Raptors.
