NBA eyes expansion after finalizing media deal; Seattle may see Sonics return

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver signaled on Thursday night that the NBA will turn to expansion as part of a process after reaching a media rights deal.
Seattle fans and elected officials have been cautiously watching every word from the commissioner since the Sonics left in 2008.
Silver has previously mentioned Seattle and Vegas as being near the top of the list of viable cities for expansion, especially since the opening of Climate Pledge Arena in 2021.
