The NBA announced Thursday that it will stream French league games that involve prospect Victor Wembanyama for free on the league's app.

Wembanyama is a heralded prospect, standing 7-foot-4 and captivating NBA front offices with his inside-out ability and devastating defensive potential. The 18-year-old prospect drew considerable attention following his American debut this summer in Las Vegas. He is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft.

Wembanyama plays for the Boulogne-Levallois Metropolitans 92 in the LNB Betclic ELITE league in France. The French league will be the first non-NBA affiliate to have its games streamed on the NBA app.

The app will also have the LNB All-Star Game on Dec. 29.

The NBA recently revamped its app, integrating social media feeds and betting-centric streams. The league this summer also broadcast pro-am "Drew League" games for the first time.

"We're labeling like this unicorn thing, everybody's been a unicorn over the last few years, but [Wembanyama's] more like an alien," said Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James during a press conference prior to the start of the season. "I've never seen . . . no one has ever seen anyone as tall as he is but as fluid and as graceful as he is out on the floor."

During a press conference, Los Angeles Laker's star Lebron James shares his thoughts on top French prospect Victor Wembanyama.

The NBA draft lottery will be held on May 16, 2023. The NBA draft will be held on June 22, 2023.

The team with the worst record has the best odds of getting the top pick.
