As the NBA continues to grow in popularity and global appeal, it seems that sovereign wealth funds are eager to get in on the action.

Qatar Investment Authority and Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Capital have both expressed interest in buying NBA teams, with their massive assets under management giving them significant financial power.

The league’s recent decision to allow sovereign wealth funds to buy up to 20% of a team has opened the door for these funds to invest in the NBA, and with teams like the New York Knicks signalling their willingness to sell a minority stake, it seems like the perfect opportunity for these funds to make their move.

The potential involvement of these sovereign wealth funds could bring significant benefits to the NBA, with their massive financial resources and global reach, they could help to increase the league’s global appeal and bring new fans and revenue streams to the table.

At the same time, however, there are concerns about the potential impact of these funds on the NBA’s long-term growth and stability.

Some worry that the involvement of these massive financial players could lead to a concentration of power in the league, potentially harming smaller teams and lessening competition.
