Commissioner Adam Silver has hinted that further expansion in the NBA is a “possibility” amid recent rumours.
Speculation has been doing the rounds for months, if not years, that the NBA could look to expand on the 30 teams that are currently in the league. The Eastern and Western Conferences each has 15 teams, which has been the case for more than a decade.
Such rumours include the possibility that new teams could be formed in two major cities in the United States in Seattle and Las Vegas. Neither city currently has an NBA franchise.
