Adam Silver about NBA expansion: I think I’ve always said that it’s sort of the manifest destiny

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver talked about an expansion: «I think I’ve always said that it’s sort of the manifest destiny of the league that you expand at some point. We’ve been putting a little bit more time into it than we were pre-pandemic. But certainly not to the point that expansion is on the front burner».

«You know, we’re very appreciative of the markets that have indicated an interest in having an NBA team. One of the issues for the league office, and this comes up all the time in terms of competitiveness, it’s not a secret that we don’t have 30 competitive teams at any given time right now when you go into the season, measured by likelihood of ability to win a championship».
