Brexit causes concern over London, says NBA commissioner Adam Silver

NBA commissioner Adam Silver admitted on Wednesday that the Brexit vote has created uncertainty over the league’s future in London.

The Indiana Pacers take on the Denver Nuggets in the seventh regular season game in the English capital at the O2 Arena on Thursday.

But while the league would like to increase the number of games played outside the United States, Great Britain’s place at the front of the queue is no longer guaranteed due to the ramifications of the nation’s decision to leave the European Union.

“We have studied it a lot and we still don’t know the answer,” Silver said.

“It’s unclear to us what impact it will have and my sense is, from talking to our many partners back in the United States, it remains unclear to them as well.”
