The San Antonio Spurs are set to play their first NBA Finals game in over a decade, with Victor Wembanyama leading the charge against the New York Knicks.
However, the close scheduling of the NBA Finals and the FIFA World Cup has raised questions about whether members of the French World Cup squad will attend the Spurs' Game 1 appearance.
French full-back Jules Koundé recently commented on the possibility, stating that it would be a 'very difficult negotiation' to arrange a trip to Madison Square Garden during their World Cup training schedule.
Despite their absence, Kylian Mbappé and his teammates are likely to keep a close eye on Wembanyama's showdown against the Knicks.
