Silver was asked about the upcoming sale of the Trail Blazers and whether he wants to see them remain in Portland during his annual NBA Board of Governors press conference in Las Vegas, site of the 2025 Summer League. The estate of Paul G. Allen announced on May 13 that the Blazers were for sale. The process is expected to last into next season.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver told reporters Wednesday that while the league prefers the for-sale Portland Trail Blazers new owners keep the team in the Rose City, the city "likely needs a new arena" to do so.
