The NBA is considering league expansion following the example of the NHL
The NBA is considering expanding the league from 30 to 32 teams, following the example of the NHL, according to The Athletic.
Details: The main candidates for new franchises are Seattle and Las Vegas — cities where NHL teams have recently been established and turned into successful ventures. Las Vegas, in particular, stands out, having already won the Stanley Cup.
The NBA has long dreamed of bringing back the Seattle SuperSonics, who relocated to Oklahoma City in 2008. There is significant interest in reviving the Sonics in the city.
Quote: "The question is not whether the NBA will return to Seattle, but when it will happen. The two cities for expansion are Seattle and Las Vegas, it's just that the league hasn't made it official yet," said former Sonics player Dale Ellis.
Reminder: NBA Commissioner Adam Silver recently stated that the league plans to make an announcement regarding expansion plans by the end of the current season.
