NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has made a rare visit to Portland, Oregon, where the Trail Blazers are taking on the Utah Jazz. This comes a week after Oregon lawmakers approved a $600 million public funding package to renovate the Moda Center. The state will contribute $365 million through bonds, with the city of Portland and Multnomah County contributing a combined $208 million. The legislation requires the Blazers to sign a 20-year lease and is also tied to the ongoing sale of the team. Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden plans to join the commissioner at the game. This is Silver's first game at the area since 2018, when Lebron James made his LA Lakers debut.
