The NBA Board of Governors has approved the next step toward possible league expansion by authorizing a formal exploration focused on Las Vegas and Seattle. The move does not confirm new franchises yet, but it signals serious league interest in evaluating both markets in detail. The league has hired PJT Partners as a strategic adviser to assess ownership groups, arena infrastructure, market strength and the wider financial impact of expansion. Adam Silver said the vote reflects strong Board interest in both cities, with further updates expected as the process develops.
