NBA Board of Governors Reportedly Set To Vote On Expansion

Over the past few years, we've seen the National Hockey League expand several times, and while the NFL are happy at 32 teams, the expectation in North American sports has been that the MLB and NBA won't be far behind the NHL in expanding. Rumors have continuously circled around Seattle and Las Vegas, and now, we have our most concrete evidence yet that expansion could be on the horizon for Adam Silver and the NBA.

According to recent reports, the NBA Board of Governors is set to vote this summer on whether or not the league should expand, with most expecting that Vegas and Seattle are the two favorites to land a new team if a vote goes through.

As of right now, it's unclear exactly what way things will potentially be leaning, but given the amount of depth around the league and the potential for the NBA to return to Seattle and expand to Vegas, the idea has fans incredibly excited. This has been a hot topic for a number of years now, and after many many veterans departed for Europe while some young players can't crack a team, the belief is that this would be healthy long-term for the NBA.

Ultimately, this is a decision that's been looming for quite some time, and there's no guarantee that we could see the NBA expand to 32 teams, but given the demand, the excitement about the possibility among NBA fans is very high.
