Basketball: the NBA will broadcast the matches of the French club "Mets 92" with Victor Wembanyama

The NBA announced Thursday, October 27 that it will broadcast "all the matches" of the Boulogne-Levallois championship, where French hopeful Victor Wembanyama plays, highly anticipated to be the No. 1 in the next draft. The information was mentioned on October 25 in Ouest-France.

The regular season matches and possible play-offs of Elite des Metropolitans 92 will be offered "free" and "live" on the NBA App from this Saturday and their trip to Bourg-en-Bresse on the occasion of the 7th day (8:00 p.m.).

Aged 18, Victor Wembanyama (2.21 m) has been panicking the American league since a promotional tour with the "Mets" in early October near Las Vegas, organized at the initiative of the NBA to make him better known. His two performances against the Ignite team of G-League, a league created and managed by the NBA, reinforced his status as the big favorite for the next draft, in June 2023. After these two meetings, punctuated by 37 and 36 points and class action, almost never seen for a player of this size and wingspan (2.43 m), LeBron James compared him to "an alien".

Will also be broadcast on the NBA App launched a month ago, the Leaders Cup, which will pit the eight best teams in the first leg from February 17 to 19, 2023 in Saint-Chamond (Loire), the AllStars Game on December 29 at Bercy and some play-off matches. The Elite will be "the first league not affiliated with the NBA" to be broadcast live on the NBA App, the statement said.
