The NBA is moving closer to adding two new expansion teams, with Las Vegas and Seattle identified as likely host cities. Multiple outlets report that the idea continues to gain momentum and that the league is expected to pursue the expansion at a record-setting number of teams or a record pace for additions.
The reports do not provide major differences in details beyond the shared expectation that the league is heading toward two expansion franchises tied to those markets. One outlet frames the development as “heading” in that direction, while another similarly describes the plan as likely to happen and emphasizes the scale as record-setting. Neither account, in the provided text, specifies timing, ownership groups, or the league’s internal decision process.
Overall, the common theme across sources is that the NBA’s expansion plans involving Las Vegas and Seattle are increasingly likely, with both emphasizing the unusual magnitude of the expansion compared with prior efforts.
