NBA and FIBA: A partnership with EuroLeague would unlock the potential. Let’s move forward with the creation of a new league

The NBA and FIBA have issued a press release. This is their first official statement following the EuroLeague summit in Cernobbio earlier this week.

It reads: “A partnership between the EuroLeague, FIBA and the NBA to unify the European basketball ecosystem would unlock the game’s enormous potential across Europe for the benefit of clubs, players and, most importantly, fans.

The NBA and FIBA remain committed to moving forward with a new professional men’s league in Europe and helping build a stronger, more sustainable basketball ecosystem alongside partners who share our vision of growth, opportunity and the core principles of the European sports model.”
