As the San Antonio Spurs get ready for their second game against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday at the NBA Paris Games, acting head coach Mitch Johnson remains in a position he didn't anticipate being in when the season started.

Brink, who wore a cream-colored sweater paired with wide-leg lilac trousers and a long-line trench coat, was seen talking to Wembanyama before the game against the Indiana Pacers. ESPN posted a couple of photos of their interaction, with Wemby's height on full display.

Thursday's game was proof of concept. Wembanyama will soon be the NBA's signature star, and sending him to Paris for a few games every year is a chance to build one of these signature events around his growing fame and eagerness to please his hometown audience. His presence made all of the difference on Thursday.

After the San Antonio Spurs beat the Indiana Pacers in Paris, France, it was a homecoming for superstar Vicror Wembanyama who put on a show. On top of Wembanyama throwing a highlight alley-oop down, he had a fantastic showcase that garnered the attention of former player Kevin Garnett.

Despite being only the third player to average 24 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, and four blocks per game, Wembanyama was not named a starter. The only other two players to record those numbers in a season were Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Hakeem Olajuwon.

The faces of the NBA are still Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant, with Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, when Durant, James, and Curry retire, the title of "face of the NBA" will be up for grabs. ESPN analyst and former player Kendrick Perkins seems to think SGA will be the next face of the NBA.
