NBA commissioner Adam Silver has consistently had plenty to say about the league’s potential future expansion. And during a recent game in Mexico City late last week between the Magic and Hawks, Silver offered up some interesting insight.
While discussing future NBA expansion, he was asked numerous times about the idea of a franchise in Mexico City. The NBA commissioner opened things up by praising the enormous opportunity in Mexico City, per NBA.com.
“We think there’s an enormous opportunity to continue growing the game of basketball here in Mexico City and throughout the country,” Silver said in his opening remarks. “And we also see this as a gateway essentially to the rest of Latin America.”
