USA TODAY
The league's board of governors will meet next week, ESPN reports, to explore plans for expansion teams in Las Vegas and Seattle for the 2028 season.
The NBA appears ready to take the first steps toward expansion for the 2028-29 season.
ESPN reported on Monday, March 16, that the league's board of governors will hold a meeting next week to explore adding expansion teams in Las Vegas and Seattle.
The league is moving toward accepting bids from potential franchise owners exclusively in those two cities. The expansion fee is projected to be in the $7-$10 billion range per team, industry executives said. Both the Seattle and Las Vegas franchises would likely be among the league's top eight revenue generators, ESPN reports.
