Boulogne-Billancourt — a neighboring commune of Metropolitans 92's headquarters in Levallois-Perret — mayor Pierre-Christophe Bague addressed the matter, stating that the decision was "unfortunate," yet unavoidable.. "We have done everything in recent years to maintain our financial support for our professional basketball team ... we must make choices for the future."
