SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama could get his first NBA regular season game as well as break in the newly named Frost Center Arena next season versus the Mavericks.
According to a report, the Spurs and Mavericks are tentatively slated for Oct. 25 in San Antonio.
The game will be a perfect match for Wembanyama as he'll take on another foreign international star: Mavs' Luke Doncic.
Mavs-Spurs games are always thrilling and with the French rookie in the league, perhaps San Antonio and Dallas can re-ignite their rivalry days.
NO SPURS ON CHRISTMAS DAY
Apparently, the potential of many viewers tuning in to watch Wemabanyama isn't enough to schedule the Spurs on Christmas Day.
According to a report, the Spurs are not part of the NBA's Christmas Day slate of games next season.
The full NBA schedule will be released in the coming weeks according to reports.
SPURS IN-SEASON TOURNAMENT SLATE TO BE ANNOUNCED
The NBA will announce the entire slate for the new in-season tournament set to debut next season.
Spurs fans can tune into ESPN's NBA Today show on Tuesday, Aug. 15 at 2 p.m. CT for the schedule release.
San Antonio is in West Group C with the Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Oklahoma City Thunder.
