The NBA could be headed to Paris for future international games.
Commissioner Adam Silver said Thursday in London before the Orlando Magic played the Toronto Raptors that he met with officials from sports and entertainment company AEG who want to bring a game to the French capital.
It’s “something that we will look at closely,” Silver said.
AEG owns the newly upgraded AccorHotels Arena in Paris in addition to O2 Arena in London. Silver called France a “fantastic basketball market.”
As far as putting an NBA franchise in Europe, Silver said he doesn’t have such a plan on the front burner, but he would like to bring the NBA All-Star Game across the Atlantic at some point.
The Magic-Raptors matchup was the sixth NBA regular-season game to be played in London.
