On Wednesday, another meeting was held among the NBA, FIBA, and EuroLeague to find a solution for a joint effort to organize the basketball landscape in Europe in the coming years.
The NBA will enter European basketball at the club level in collaboration with FIBA, and the EuroLeague is also trying to find a solution that suits them.
In this context, another meeting was held between the three parties, where ideas were exchanged, but no significant progress was made in the negotiations, per sources.
Still, the talks between the three organizations remain ongoing. It was a positive exchange, everyone is picking up the pace and next meeting is early July.
The EuroLeague was represented at this meeting by President Dejan Bodiroga and CEO Chus Bueno.
