According to Ernest Macia, Adam Silver met with Barcelona's representatives, Josep Cubells and Jordi Trias, with Pau Gasol also being present in the meeting.
Macia couldn't confirm exactly which details were discussed, but the report says the NBA tried to convince Barcelona to join the NBA Europe project.
Regarding Barcelona's future, the latest reports suggested that the Spanish club committed to signing a new 10-year deal with the EuroLeague.
Earlier, Barcelona had already shown strong intent to remain in the EuroLeague following productive meetings between the club's top leadership and EuroLeague executives.
In recent months, multiple reports suggested Barcelona was also considering joining the NBA Europe project.
The club was viewed as one of the most significant potential franchises, given its global football brand and existing basketball presence.
Barcelona has a storied history in the EuroLeague, having won the title twice (in 2003 and 2010) and consistently competing at the highest level in European basketball.
