League Commissioner Adam Silver recently mentioned Seattle + NBA expansion, and we’ve got a response.
Seattle fans, we don’t know when this process will start, but let’s stay the course and enjoy the ride. – Seattle is Ready!
#SeattleIsReady X #BeAPartOfIt
When Seattle shows up to honor basketball and the Sonics, it really shows up. 🫶
This is the story of how a local fan and artist, Damon “Creative Lou” Brown, customized two beautiful (donated) Gibson guitars that changed hands from Sonics legends to a rock star, to a hoops-for-kids nonprofit, and — well, you’ll have to watch to see what happened next.
Produced by Seattle NBA Fans, a volunteer coalition whose mission is to bring the NBA and the Sonics back to Seattle, this story shows how you, too, could #BEAPARTOFIT! Learn more at

The NBA Board of Governors today voted to authorize the league to formally explore potential team expansion to Las Vegas and Seattle.
Seattle, and Climate Pledge Arena, are ready.
#NBA Summer League runs July 9–19 and right alongside it, the next @NBA Board of Governors meeting, where expansion to Seattle and Las Vegas is expected to be a major topic.
Nothing is guaranteed, but this is the moment to watch.
Mark your calendar. 💚💛 #SeattleIsReady
Steve Kerr on @SeattleSonics possible return via Expansion:
“I would love to see Seattle and the Sonics come back.
Favorite Moment: “Favorite Seattle moment definitely the Finals in 96.”
#bringbackoursonics#dubnation#NBA
Former @SeattleSonics assistant coach Terry Stotts on favorite Sonics Moment:
“Well my favorite memory was being with them for the Finals.”
“The 90s were such as great era for the Sonics, the town, and it’s ashamed their not there. Obviously when they get a team it will be well supported.”
