Washington's governor met with the NBA commissioner this week amid ongoing doubts about potential league expansion.
The meeting comes as Seattle continues to show strong interest in a possible NBA return. A Seattle SuperSonics fan dressed as Bigfoot was seen at a Gonzaga Bulldogs versus Kentucky Wildcats game at Climate Pledge Arena on December 7, 2024, highlighting the city's enduring basketball culture.
The NBA has not announced any formal expansion plans.
