LAS VEGAS (AP) — The NBA plans to make a decision regarding domestic expansion in the coming year, Commissioner Adam Silver said Tuesday, offering the most definitive timeline since the league began exploring the possibility of moving from 30 to 32 teams.

The NBA Cup is Adam Silver’s vision through and through, a commissioner who loves tournaments and is always looking for ways to add life to the calendar.

Knicks win NBA Cup, Crawford retires from boxing, the parallels between Pete Golding and Steve Fisher, NFL power rankings, emailing with the Warriors owner, and more.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver admits there’s still no obvious solution for the Miami Heat in the Terry Rozier situation.

It is critical for the NBA to be perceived as having integrity, commissioner Adam Silver said Tuesday, adding that the gambling scandals that led to the arrests of Miami guard Terry Rozier, Portland coach Chauncey Billups and others are being taken with the utmost seriousness.

ESPN's Shams Charania reported at the time that Paul's "leadership style clashed with the Clippers," as he was "vocal in holding management, coaches and players accountable." Charania also noted the guard and head coach Tyronn Lue were not on speaking terms.

Teams who qualify for the semifinal have earned the right to play in Vegas for the Cup championship and the handsome cash prize the title comes with. Ahead of Tuesday night’s NBA Cup final between the Spurs and Knicks, commissioner Adam Silver floated an idea that the tournament may look elsewhere for its finale in future years.

Kendrick Perkins agreed with Adam Silver that the NBA needs to return to physical defense, stating the OKC Thunder is the only team playing defense at a "high level."
