Washington's governor met with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver as speculation continues about potential league expansion, including the possible return of the Seattle SuperSonics. The meeting comes amid ongoing doubts about the timeline and viability of adding new franchises.
A SuperSonics fan dressed as Bigfoot was spotted at Climate Pledge Arena during a Gonzaga Bulldogs versus Kentucky Wildcats game on December 7, 2024, highlighting continued local enthusiasm for NBA basketball in Seattle. The arena, which opened in 2021, is considered a key asset in any expansion bid.
