An ownership group led by NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson isn’t the only one that has discussed Las Vegas NBA expansion with Gov. Joe Lombardo in recent weeks.
A number of groups interested in being part of the ownership of a potential team have contacted Lombardo following Johnson’s meeting with Nevada’s top political figure in February, a Lombardo spokesperson told the Review-Journal.
The subject of public funding that might go toward the building of an NBA-ready arena has not been brought up in those conversations, the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson didn’t identify what other groups have spoken with Lombardo.
