Olgun Uluc: Also in my story: Basketball Australia is already in early talks on a home exhibition series ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Discussions are in the early stages; Greece, France, Spain, and Germany are among the potential opponents being targeted, sources told ESPN.
Various sources have confirmed to EuroLeague that Barcelona and Bayern are keeping a firm stance, aligned with the decision taken in Como by the EuroLeague owners; on the other hand, Real Madrid seems to be the EuroLeague club more inclined to continue a dialogue with the NBA.
Sky News has learnt that executives from clubs understood to include AC Milan, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid will hold talks with counterparts from the National Basketball Association (NBA) on Tuesday. The football club chiefs will be in London as a result of the Ballon d'Or awards ceremony in the capital on Monday evening, although it was unclear whether they would meet NBA executives in person or remotely.
Their discussions with the NBA come amid efforts to finalise the sale of a dozen franchises for a new European basketball league slated to launch late next year. A further four teams are expected to participate annually on a merit-related basis.

Daniel Theis has not completely ruled out finishing his career alongside Dennis Schröder in Braunschweig, although such a move is not currently part of his plans. “If Dennis plays in Braunschweig again, I’ll probably already be retired,” Theis told Braunschweiger Zeitung. “Everyone who knows Dennis knows what he’s like. I feel like he’ll play for the national team until he’s 40.” The former NBA center believes Schröder will eventually end his career with his hometown club: “In the end, he’ll play in Braunschweig. If it happens earlier and he calls me, and maybe contacts a few other people, then we can talk about it.”
Dennis Schröder delivered a commanding performance as Germany faced the Czech Republic at the DBB Supercup ahead of the upcoming FIBA World Cup qualifiers.

Isaiah Hartenstein will not play for Germany this summer after suffering an ankle injury, the German Basketball Federation announced. Following discussions with his NBA team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, all parties agreed that the 2.13-metre centre should not risk aggravating the injury.
But in the latest press release by the German Basketball Federation (DBB), it was revealed that Isaiah Hartenstein won't be able to play for his country this summer. This development comes as a significant blow to the team's frontcourt depth ahead of their crucial qualifying matches. Hartenstein suffered an ankle injury, and after extensive consultations with the medical staff of the Oklahoma City Thunder, it was decided that it is in his best interest to focus on rehabilitation this summer.
Oklahoma City Thunder forward-center Isaiah Hartenstein is back with Germany’s senior national team, making it clear that his return is about far more than just adding another chapter to his international career. After more than eight years away from the program, the 28-year-old big is excited to represent Germany once again, having last worn the national team jersey back in February 2018 during a FIBA World Cup 2019 Qualifiers matchup against Georgia. “I’m really happy,” he stated in a recent interview with German media outlet Basketball World. “I actually wanted to play for the last two years.”
After 155 NBA appearances, MarJon Beauchamp takes his talents to the EuroLeague, joining FC Bayern Munich. The deal was announced on Wednesday.
