The two-day meeting in Como is taking place at a particularly critical juncture for European basketball, as the focus is on the NBA’s proposal to acquire a significant stake in the EuroLeague and create a new European league under the auspices of the world’s top league.
At the same time, the possibility of expanding the EuroLeague—increasing the number of teams from 18 to 24—is also expected to be on the table, an issue that directly affects Greek teams vying for a spot in the competition.
