In December 2020, with no fans in arenas and lines of credit and loans to owners growing, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the league was taking a fresh look at the idea of expanding after nearly two decades.
At the annual fall board of governors meeting last week in New York, Silver provided an update and said expansion would be discussed by the league 'at some point this season,' though not just yet.
It's a fluid and uncertain process. The NBA last announced expansion in 2002, and the Charlotte Bobcats started play in October 2004.
Prospective ownership groups have been quietly raising money. Two different firms have announced planned new arenas in Las Vegas.
