NBA Commissioner Adam Silver Finalizing Contract Extension Through 2029

Silver's Extended Tenure to Focus on New Media Rights Deal and Potential League Expansion

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is finalizing a contract extension that will keep him in his position through the end of the decade.
Silver's tenure has been marked by significant growth for the league, including the introduction of the Play-In and In-Season tournaments, player participation legislation, and draft lottery reform.
Silver successfully navigated the league through the COVID-19 pandemic, suspending and then resuming the 2019-20 season in a controlled environment.
He has also overseen the banning and eventual sales of teams by problematic NBA owners, including the Clippers' Donald Sterling and the Suns' Robert Sarver.
Major objectives for Silver's extended tenure include a new media rights deal and potential league expansion.
