LONDON, Jan 14 (Reuters) - The National Basketball Association is considering playing a regular season game in Paris after receiving a proposal from Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), Commissioner Adam Silver said on Thursday.
AEG, which has ownership stake in the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers among many other sports teams, operates the AccorHotels Arena in Paris.
"Right before this press conference I met with the executives of AEG Europe and they proposed that we look at playing a regular season game in Paris," Silver told reporters during a trip to London.
"France has also been a fantastic basketball market and Paris in particular and it is also a city our teams enjoy visiting so it is certainly something we will be looking at closely.
