NBA to stream top French prospect Victor Wembanyama's games
From Saturday, millions of basketball fans worldwide will have to chance to follow Wembanyama's exploits for Boulogne-Levallois Metropolitans 92 via the NBA's online app, a statement said.
It marks the first time a non-NBA affiliated league has had games streamed on the NBA app and reflects the mounting excitement building around Wembanyama's future.
Wembanyama, who stands 7-foot-3 (2.20m), is widely expected to be the first player selected in next year's NBA Draft, a mix of size, speed and athleticism with long arms who has earned praise from four-time NBA Most Valuable Player LeBron James among others.
The NBA App will also feature the French league's Leaders Cup games in February and its All-Star Game in December.
