At present there are 30 NBA teams but the league’s commissioner, Adam Silver, has been open about the fact that the NBA would look toward expansion, potentially adding another two teams. Sources have told the ECHO that the Liverpool investment search has no link to any interest that FSG might have in an NBA expansion franchise. Liverpool chairman Tom Werner last year said: “(Owning an NBA team) is certainly something that we would look at. But it isn’t something that is imminent, nor is it something that is impactful on FSG’s decision to sell some of their stake in Liverpool. Have we sold anything in the past 20+ years?”FSG’s investment in Liverpool has always been something of an outlier.
