The NBA is considering expanding from 30 to 32 teams, with a vote scheduled at the Board of Governors meetings on March 24-25, 2026. If approved, Las Vegas and Seattle are set to join for the 2028-29 season. Potential expansion draft rules would allow teams to protect up to eight players, excluding restricted free agents and expiring contracts. For the Knicks, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and Jalen Brunson are likely to be protected, while the status of other players will depend on future roster changes.
