The Regular Season will reach 38 games, will include 10 “double” weeks (10 weeks with two races within a 4 -day), with Andrea Trinkieri expressing his concern about this development.
“Ten double weeks. This is the first thing I think,” he said, stressing that the first and most immediate consequence will be the team’s burden on their national championships. “It’s not fair for the players. But is the world just?” He wondered.
Trinkieri emphasized that Euroleague is a top product, at the same level as the NBA, but its co -existence with domestic championships creates imbalances. “The problem is that these two cannot coexist harmoniously,” he noted.
