Rome’s return to big-time basketball is the topic of today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport, now on newsstands.<\/p>\n

Among the key points of the article by Mario Canfora and Giuseppe Nigro is mention of a consortium that \u201cpresented itself to basketball authorities with a written preliminary agreement to purchase the rights to Cremona, whose salvation (10 points above last place) now appears imminent.\u201d<\/p>\n

The main reference would be Donnie Nelson, from 2002 to 2021 executive of the Dallas Mavericks and son of the great Don. Donnie would also have Dirk Nowitzki and Luka Doncic as investors in the consortium, although in the case of the German star, spokesman Scott Tomlin denied the news to Marc Stein.<\/p>\n

The working group also includes Roberto Carmenati and Rimantas Kaukenas. The team would play at the PalaEuro while awaiting the completion of the Foro Italico roof (mid-2027).<\/p>\n

Next season, the team will play in the LBA with the Vanoli Cremona sports title, pending the arrival of NBA Europe, which, as confirmed by La Gazzetta itself, could be delayed by a year. A new key meeting has been set for the All-Star Game weekend in Los Angeles, where the NBA has scheduled another meeting with the parties involved in the deal.<\/p>\n

No particular updates on Milan, where Olimpia Milano and Milan are still described as being in the evaluation phase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
