ACB Could Face Exodus

Barcelona and Baskonia are reportedly "weighing joining Real Madrid in leaving the Spanish Basketball League (ACB) and competing only in the EuroLeague." Baskonia, Barcelona and Real Madrid are three of the 11 "license A" members of the 16-team EuroLeague, and all three are shareholders in the continental competition (EL MUNDO, 2/27).

Barcelona sources disputed the report claiming the club may "abandon" the ACB (MUNDO DEPORTIVO, 2/27).
