MIAMI (AP) – NBA Commissioner David Stern is again discussing the possibility of the league’s expansion to Europe, predicting there will be a five-team division there within the next 10 years.
Stern made the remarks Friday at a luncheon with Miami business leaders.
The talk of teams in Europe is hardly new, though Stern offered more details regarding how it could work. He suggested a notion that teams would fly to Europe, play five teams in a division there twice, then return home and be done with “their European obligations.”
Stern has also recently said the NBA plans a regular-season game in London sometime before the city hosts the 2012 Olympics.
Last week, he said that eliminating teams may be discussed during collective bargaining sessions with the players’ association.
