Las Vegas owner Bill Foley would love to have a name for his expansion team, and he's open to ideas. Canadian sports network TSN reported Wednesday that "Knights" was likely to be the name of the Las Vegas team, which will begin play in 2017-18.

Foley mentioned Salt Lake City as a potential option geographically close to Las Vegas.
