The launch date for the NBA Europe project is becoming clearer. FIBA Secretary General Andreas Zagklis expressed his optimism that NBA Europe could start as soon as October 2027. “I believe [NBA Europe] will happen, and I have no doubt about it. We need, of course, the approval of the respective two boards of the NBA and the FIBA Central Board,” Zagklis said during the media availability. “I do believe that October 2027 is a realistic target and that it is also an ideal way of closing the curtain in Doha with tremendous confidence about the FIFA Basketball World Cup and moving into a new project that shapes the European Club Basketball landscape in a positive way,” he added.
