09/09/2010 - Moscow, Russia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The National Basketball Association has opened a new office in Moscow, as announced by deputy commissioner and COO Adam Silver on Thursday.

Moscow joins the ever-expanding international umbrella housing an NBA office, which includes seven markets in the Europe, Middle East and Africa regions.

"This is a great time for the NBA to expand its presence in Russia, especially given Mikhail Prokhorov's commitment to further grow the sport in the country," said Silver. "We are excited to open our first office and we welcome Egor Borisov, whose wealth of experience and tremendous enthusiasm for the game will help spur the continued growth of basketball in the region."

Prokhorov recently became the first non-North American owner of an NBA franchise when he purchased the New Jersey Nets in May.

Borisov joins the NBA as vice president of development, Russia and Eastern Europe.
