During the NBA Paris Game 2024 press conference, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver was questioned again about possibly realizing this basketball event in Greece.

However, Silver couldn't provide optimistic developments in the immediate future.

"Giannis is pressing about this every time I see him," Silver pointed out. "Just because of the amount of planning that's required, it won't be in the next year, but it is something we'll continue to take a look at.

"As you know, in prior years, we had played preseason games in Greece. Again, it's something we'll take a look at, but we're very appreciative of the enormous support this league has from the people of Greece."
