Las Vegas could potentially land an NBA expansion team, with the initial vote on this coming at the league's board of governors meetings in New York. The league's team ownership representatives are scheduled to vote on exploring expansion in Las Vegas and Seattle. To approve this step, 23 of the 30 NBA owners must vote in favor of exploring expansion. If awarded, the teams would begin play for the 2028-29 season. Two known groups with interest in landing an NBA team are led by Earvin "Magic" Johnson and the other by Golden Knights owner Bill Foley. The expected expansion fee to be paid to the NBA and distributed among existing teams is between $7 billion and $10 billion.
