PRESS RELEASE |

Join Billy Baron for #BillyGym, live on EuroLeague Instagram starting Tuesday!

The games may be stopped, but Euroleague Basketball stars are keeping busy, and now the fans themselves can stay busy alongside one of them every day!

To make the most of everyone's downtime, shooting ace Billy Baron of Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade is turning his garage into a meeting place for Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and 7DAYS EuroCup fans to get in shape, chat and hear from other players.

Before his rookie EuroLeague season was suspended, Baron was averaging 11.6 points as one of the competition's top three-point shooters. He is waiting out the suspension at his home in Florida, using his garage as a gym to keep in shape.

Now, Baron will host a daily show combining workouts, fan chats and special guest interviews that fans can follow live at 18:00 CET on the EuroLeague Instagram channel.

The first episode of #BillyGym is coming at you at 18:00 CET on Tuesday. Baron will show everyone a 10-minute workout that he does and will answer questions from fans live.

The new series is part of #EUROLEAGUEUNITED, Euroleague Basketball's global campaign of mutual support and encouragement led by the clubs, players, coaches, referees, ambassadors and other stakeholders of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and the 7DAYS EuroCup in the face of the unprecedented situation caused by COVID-19.

In addition to his live appearances daily at 18:00 CET on the EuroLeague Instagram channel, Baron will be recording longer workouts that will be available on EuroLeague channels for all fans who want to stay in shape, as well as conversations with different guests focused on training and diet.
Isolation doesn't mean that EuroLeague fans have to feel isolated, too – not when they have an invitation to #BillyGym every day!
