Please see Governor Lombardo's statement on the NBA Board of Governor's vote to officially explore an expansion team in Las Vegas:

"I'm very excited to see the NBA advance this process toward a Las Vegas expansion team. Today's vote by the NBA Board of Governors is a testament to the incredible growth we're seeing in Southern Nevada and our state's business-friendly environment. Las Vegans have already shown unwavering support for our professional sports franchises, and a new NBA team will provide even more entertainment, more jobs, and more small business growth for the region. I look forward to continuing conversations with Commissioner Silver and league officials to ensure this expansion delivers lasting benefits for the state of Nevada."
