The NBA currently has no plans to add an expansion team in Mexico, though commissioner Adam Silver said Saturday ahead of the league’s Mexico City game between the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat that adding a franchise south of the American border could eventually become reality.

“It’s definitely possible,” Silver said. “… I don’t have a specific timeline right now in terms of expansion, but there’s no doubt we will be looking seriously at Mexico City over time.”

Saturday’s game between the Spurs and Heat marks the first NBA game in Mexico City since 2019. However, the league has held 30 games in Mexico dating back to 1992, which is more than in any other country outside the United States and Canada.

It only feels like a matter of time before the NBA expands to Mexico, especially because it added the Mexico City Capitanes to the G League in 2019. However, expanding to Las Vegas and/or Seattle has been at the peak of rumors about the league possibly adding more teams.
