Adam Silver, Commissioner of the NBA.

The NBA expansion is in its decisive phase, with the league considering approving the arrival of two new franchises, with Seattle and Las Vegas as the main candidates. The goal is to increase from 30 to 32 teams starting in 2028, which would require reorganizing the conferences and could lead to the relocation of a current franchise to the East, with Minnesota, Memphis, and New Orleans among the options being considered. Additionally, the league will need to define the expansion process and rules for building the rosters of the new teams.
