It’s a fairly open secret that the NBA is going to expand sometime in the relatively near future. NBA commissioner Adam Silver has said the league will look into expansion after they complete their new media rights deal in the next year or so.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski is adding some additional reporting that the NBA will focus on adding two teams after the media rights deal is done.
“Certainly, Las Vegas is going to be at or among the primary cities, along with Seattle,” Wojnarowski said. “The league has been migrating towards Las Vegas for years.”
Wojnarowski added that expansion is “not far off” and will include two cities.
