Napoli Basketball are strengthening their ownership structure with Josh Hart joining the club’s board. The news, which had already emerged in recent weeks, has now been officially confirmed: the New York Knicks star, alongside his business partner Matt Hillman, will contribute to the sporting, commercial and social growth of Mat Rizzetta’s club. Hart will also make his experience available in the search for new talent and hopes to spend time in Naples during the NBA offseason.
According to Il Mattino, the move is part of an ambitious project that the player compared to what has been built with the New York Knicks: “Naples is a great comeback story, and in many ways it reminds me of what we’ve built with the Knicks.” Hart also highlighted the potential of the city and the passion of its fans, describing the Azzurri project as being only in its “first quarter”.
The American’s arrival is part of a strategy focused on two major objectives: the construction of a new arena and a potential move to the EuroLeague. His involvement in the SSC Napoli situation has not been ruled out either. On the ownership front, the club also officially confirmed the presence of Predictive VC, a minority shareholder since 2026, with CEO Kevin Alvarez-Fung having been close to the team for several months.
Further investments and the announcement of a new title sponsor are also on the horizon, as the club continues to work towards strengthening its sporting and commercial ambitions.
