The Labor Inspectorate is checking information about salary debts at "Pari NN".
The State Labor Inspection in the Nizhny Novgorod region is verifying the accuracy of information regarding the possible non-payment of wages to employees of the basketball club "Pari NN." The reason for the inspection was a publication by "Match TV" about the club's financial problems. According to the TV channel, "Nizhny Novgorod" is at risk of being removed from the VTB United League championship, and the club has outstanding wage debts. A source from the sports publication claims that the first problems arose in November-December 2025. According to this source, players were not paid their salaries, which led foreign basketball players Shane Gatling, Hunter Dean, and Isaiah Washington to leave the club. It is also reported that by January 2026, the financial situation had not been resolved, although the honorary president of the basketball club "Pari Nizhny Novgorod," Sergey Panov, assured that the information about wage debts was not true. As noted on June 10, 2026, by the State Labor Inspection, the agency's employees saw the news about the alleged non-payment of salaries in the basketball club and decided to establish all the circumstances of the incident.
"There have been no appeals from employees to the State Labor Inspection. However, if the information about the non-payment of salaries is confirmed, measures will be taken by inspectors to ensure the labor rights of employees," said the head of the State Labor Inspection in the Nizhny Novgorod region, Ilya Moshes.
As a result of the past season of the VTB United League, "Nizhny Novgorod" took ninth place in the regular championship, winning 12 out of 40 matches and failing to reach the playoffs.
