Kylian Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi took advantage of their time off from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to attend an NBA game between the Brooklyn Nets and the San Antonio Spurs in New York. The Nets emerged victorious with a 139-103 win, with Kevin Durant putting on a stellar performance, scoring 25 points. Mbappe and Hakimi had the opportunity to meet Durant and even posed for photos on the court, with Hakimi proudly displaying a Nets jersey.

Mbappe shared a picture of the trio on his Instagram, describing the night as “special.” After the game, the PSG duo also had the chance to congratulate the Nets players in the locker room. Mbappe expressed his enjoyment of the game, while also wishing them luck for the season ahead.

Following their NBA outing, Mbappe and Hakimi will now focus on their return to PSG. Manager Christophe Galtier had initially given them a few days off to recover after their international duties in Qatar.

PSG’s next match will be in the French Cup against Chateauroux, and Galtier may decide to rest Mbappe and Hakimi for the game against the lower-league team. Their next appearance in Ligue 1 is expected to be against Angers on January 11.

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets continue their strong performance in the Eastern Conference, having won 25 out of their 37 games so far this season.
