In an interview aired October 21, 2026, Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia said he supports NBA expansion, naming Las Vegas, Seattle and Mexico City, and backed NBA Europe, which deputy commissioner Mark Tatum said is coming in October 2027. He framed both as long-term growth plays even though new teams dilute each owner's roughly 3% stake in a league he said had $14 billion in revenue, and noted expansion requires 23 owner votes. In the same interview he said Kevin Durant responded to an aggregated clip without watching the full video and that he replied publicly, and said the goal is to win a championship with Devin Booker, who has four years left on his contract.
