EuroLeague issued a warning letter to the NBA on January 9, threatening legal action due to discussions regarding a planned European league, potentially launching in 2027 with franchises valued up to $1 billion. The NBA has reportedly engaged with several EuroLeague teams, asserting that all interactions have been lawful. While NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is in Europe seeking investors, EuroLeague teams face penalties for leaving their contracts early, with nine of thirteen teams recently extending their licenses. EuroLeague views the NBA’s expansion as a threat but remains open to collaboration that respects European basketball traditions.
