The NBA’s Board of Governors has voted to explore expansion opportunities in Seattle and Las Vegas, a significant step towards potentially adding teams in these cities. While the vote does not guarantee immediate expansion, it allows for a bidding process expected to yield offers between $7 billion and $10 billion for each team. The league aims to finalize expansion plans later this year, with hopes of introducing the new teams by the 2028-29 season. Seattle has not had an NBA franchise since the Supersonics relocated in 2008, while Las Vegas is poised to become the first NBA city in the region.
