Russian online sports platform Sports.ru has struck a deal to launch the National Basketball Association's official Russia-focused website.
The new site will be hosted in a dedicated section of Sports.ru and the Sports.ru mobile app, NBA.com Russia, will feature a range of multimedia content including videos, highlights, localised editorial and real-time statistics.
The video content will feature game recaps, the top 10 plays of the day and extensive highlights.
Fans who visit NBA.com in Russia will be automatically redirected to Sports.ru/NBA.
