Japan given deadline to end dispute over dual league


BARCELONA (Reuters) - Japan has until the end of October to resolve a dispute between its two competing basketball leagues but there is no threat to the national team competing at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the sport's governing body said on Thursday.

FIBA wants a single league in Japan, arguing that disagreements between the bj-league and the National Basketball League (NBL) have affected the growth of the sport in the country.
