“We will play again in Paris next year, in January,” Silver told reporters.

“We are in discussions with several teams, we have many requests because many teams are interested. Even if we have not yet planned this match, it is already arousing interest.”

The Paris fixture is the first outside of London since the NBA began holding regular season games in Europe in 2011. (Reporting by Julien Pretot; Editing by Franklin Paul)
