NBA teams set to hear more about league's plans for future European involvement

  • NBA teams will be briefed on Thursday at the league's Board of Governors meeting in New York about the league's plans to align with FIBA and expand its role in European basketball.
  • The NBA and FIBA have been in discussions, including at a Board of Governors meeting this past September with FIBA secretary general Andreas Zagklis, about adding either an annual competition in Europe or an NBA-operated league there.
  • Commissioner Adam Silver will address team owners directly at the meeting, discussing the latest status of the talks, and is expected to hold a news conference afterward where the Europe plan will be among the topics discussed.
  • In January, at the NBA Paris Games where San Antonio played Indiana twice, the NBA met with European stakeholders to discuss the future of basketball in Europe, with Silver stating the league is 'on track' to expand its footprint.
  • NBA team owners will vote this week on a proposal for a new, potentially semi-open professional basketball league in Europe, in which the NBA would hold 50% equity, aiming for 8-10 teams with up to four spots available for top EuroLeague teams, and franchise slots potentially selling for at least $500 million.
