Adam Silver: Age issue 'needs to be studied' outside CBA negotiations

NEW ORLEANS -- Adam Silver says the NBA and NBPA Executive Director Michele Roberts both agree that the issue of the NBA age minimum "needs to be studied" more and the NBA Commissioner added it "requires that we take a new look and a new approach to the issue" in the future.

Speaking at his annual state of the NBA address at the All-Star Game, Silver was asked about the age minimum and if it's an issue that doesn't need a Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiation to revisit.

"Well, first of all, we absolutely need the union in order to revisit the age," Silver said.
