The Boston Celtics will likely have two new teams to play against in the medium-term future with NBA expansion rumbles starting to heat up. During the pandemic, it looked as if there might be new teams joining the league even sooner, but NBA commissioner Adam Silver made it clear that a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) and media rights deal would need to be secured ahead of adding teams to the Association.
But now the league has a new CBA in hand and will soon tackle the media rights deal, meaning a pair of teams — or maybe more — could be added to the NBA in the next half-decade or so.
Seattle seems a shoo-in, and Las Vegas, Nevada very likely. Soon after this summer’s 2023 Las Vegas Summer League, NBA.com’s Mark Medina sat down with the hosts of the “Herd with Colin Cowherd” show to talk about what expansion would look like.
Check out the clip embedded above to hear what he had to say about adding Seattle and Sin City to the NBA.
