Adam Silver gives update on NBA expansion timeline

There has been a lot of chatter as of late regarding the NBA potentially expanding in the near future. There have been a lot of cities mentioned as potential landing spots for a new team, but that will all be determined down the road. At this point, it still unclear how long the process is going to take, but NBA commissioner Adam Silver gave an update on the situation at Monday night’s draft lottery.

The NBA Draft Lottery is going down in Chicago on Monday night, and Adam Silver had a lot to discuss with the media. One topic of discussion was expansion, and Silver noted that the sale of the Boston Celtics doesn’t really speed up the process.

“There’s room to potentially expand,” Silver said, according to ClutchPoints’ NBA insider Brett Siegel. “We aren’t quite there yet… Around Las Vegas Summer League, I’m sure we’ll be discussing it. There’s obvious interest out there.”
