NBL teams have traveled to the United States and Canada to play NBA teams in the preseason in five of the past seven years. What if it's time to go the opposite way?
The head of the Australian League today promises that building an NBA franchise in Australia is possible.
” We are in talks with the NBA and have established a strong relationship with them. An NBA team is sure to come (in Australia) “, David Stevenson reportsWithout giving too many logistical details.
One of the challenges of such a visit would be the compatibility of calendars. ” It will be in early October. Right after we start, maybe we can do something when they're in training camp in early October », continues the manager who resumes the championship on September 19, a month before the American tournament.
” This is a good time because once you get to the end of October, they start the regular season », underlines David Stevenson, who, beyond the question of the date, still wonders about the possible opponent.
” Whether they're playing against an NBL All-Star team or a club team, at least our teams are fully prepared, they're in season and they're going to do their best, and it's going to be a very significant opportunity. Benefit », he shows.
We recall that in August 2019, before the World Cup, Team USA performed twice in Australia against the local team in front of more than 50,000 spectators.
