NBA commissioner
Adam Silver met with Gov. Joe Lombardo last week on a Zoom call to discuss expansion and the Las Vegas market, according to a person familiar with the situation. Silver told Lombardo the league probably would add two expansion franchises, with Las Vegas and Seattle the destinations of choice, the person said. NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson and his group, the MAGI, expressed an interest last week in being part of the ownership group if Las Vegas gets a franchise. Lombardo met with Johnson in February, the first NBA expansion-related talks between the top government official in Nevada and an interested ownership group.
