NBA commissioner Adam Silver talked to media members on Tuesday, September 10, after holding the Board of Governors at a Manhattan hotel, as Tim Bontemps reported for ESPN.
Although Silver admitted “there wasn’t discussion of expansion” at the meeting, he acknowledged that the league’s expansion “will be addressed at some point this season.”
In turn, Silver revealed that the league is actively exploring opportunities to expand to the rumored 32 teams son, and potentially exploring taking over Europe on top of everything.
Regarding that overseas expansion, Silver said that the league is evaluating the potential for an NBA-branded European league or tournament, but the details and timeline remain uncertain.
