With the NBA increasingly likely to give consideration to its first expansion in two decades in the near future, a pair of major cities are expected to be at the front of the line.
Per commissioner Adam Silver, Las Vegas and Seattle will be among markets explored if the league decides to grow upon the completion of its next media rights deal.
“We will turn to expansion once those new media deals are done,” Silver said Monday, speaking to reporters at the Associated Press Sports Editors conference in Las Vegas. “It’s not a sure thing but, as I’ve said before, I think it’s natural that organizations grow over time.”
