NBA Expansion Talks Accelerate

Adam Silver says owners still aim to vote on expansion, potentially by the end of 2026. A newer report suggests Las Vegas could be evaluated before Seattle, with competing ownership groups, arena uncertainty and a possible fee above $9 billion, while Seattle appears operationally ahead for a possible 2028-29 launch. The NBA is also exploring a possible 16-team European league, but its structure and business model remain unsettled.
