NBA commissioner Adam Silver meets with Real Madrid about potential European league membership, per report

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has been in discussions with Real Madrid about the possibility of the Spanish soccer club joining a potential European basketball league, according to a report. The report suggests that Silver has been actively exploring opportunities to expand the NBA's presence in Europe, including the creation of a European league that could include top clubs from across the continent. Real Madrid, one of the most prestigious and successful soccer clubs in the world, has a successful basketball team that competes in the EuroLeague, Europe's premier professional club basketball competition. The potential partnership between the NBA and Real Madrid, as well as other European clubs, could have significant implications for the future of professional basketball in Europe, potentially leading to the creation of a new, high-profile league that could rival the EuroLeague. However, the report also notes that these discussions are still in the early stages, and it remains to be seen whether a formal partnership or league will materialize.
