As the 2024 NBA Playoffs continue, the Indiana Pacers (6) and the New York Knicks (2) are set to reignite their rivalry in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The road to this anticipated rematch was paved with nail-biting Game 5 showdowns, but both teams emerged victorious. Tom Thibodeau’s defensive-minded Knicks face the daunting task of containing the Pacers’ high-octane offense, known for its relentless pace and sharpshooting prowess.

All eyes are on the battle of the point guards: Jalen Brunson of the Knicks and Tyrese Haliburton of the Pacers, former All-Star teammates. Brunson has risen to the occasion amidst the challenges posed by injuries to key teammates. Haliburton’s playmaking has been the driving force behind the Pacers’ offense, leading the league in assists.

For the Knicks, the return of OG Anunoby adds a new dimension to their lineup, as he gears up to face his former teammate Pascal Siakam. Meanwhile, Pacers’ veteran Myles Turner brings a wealth of playoff experience to the forefront, poised to make his mark after advancing past the first round for the first time in his career.

With a trip to the conference finals hanging in the balance, the outcome of this matchup could very well define the series.

Earlier this week, the NBA announced that the Indiana Pacers and San Antonio Spurs will face off in the 2025 NBA Paris Games.

The announcement says that the two games will be in January of 2025. The Spurs currently roster French phenom Victor Wembanyama while the Pacers don’t currently have any French players. Per the announcement, it will be the third and fourth games in Paris for the Spurs but the first for the Pacers.

Previous reporting suggested that this announcement could be coming. “I’m looking forward to it very much,” Wembanyama said, per ESPN. To date, the NBA has played seven times in Paris, and the 2024 Olympics will be held there.

In 2024, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Brooklyn Nets battled at Accor Arena in Paris. They only played one game, though, while the Pacers and Spurs will play in two.

In the past, Indiana has played in Berlin, Seville, Taipei, Beijing, Manila, and Mumbai for preseason outings. Back in 2017, Indiana faced the Denver Nuggets in London for the NBA’s Global Games series.

Indiana and San Antonio split their two games this season, with the Spurs winning the more recent battle. The NBA France twitter account shared that the games will be on January 23 and 25, 2025.

A previous release from the NBA explained that there have been more NBA players from France than from any other country outside North America. The league is becoming more popular in France, and the Pacers will now be a part of it.
