The topic of expansion in the NBA is one that's frequently brought up among fans and media members, and commissioner Adam Silver acknowledged the subject this week at the NBA's Board of Governors meeting.
Silver made clear that any NBA expansion was not imminent, given there were still some major hurdles to get past before the league would be ready to add a new franchise. One such area is the regional television distribution rights, and how games would be distributed within local markets of an upstart franchise.
