Two Cities Have Been Named As The Next To Receive NBA Expansion Teams

The NBA has not added a new team in almost two decades, but that could be changing very soon.

During an appearance on 93.3 KJR, longtime columnist John Canzano reported that Seattle and Las Vegas have “already been earmarked” for expansion by the NBA.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver discussed the possibility of expansion just last month on the Dan Patrick Show (topic begins at 14:15):

“There’s no doubt Seattle would be a great market, Las Vegas would be a great market,” Silver said. “There’s state-of-the-art arenas in both those communities.”
