NBA commissioner Adam Silver expects legalized sports betting to be
expanded in the United States and said Thursday the league would be
willing to be part of it.
Silver said he understands that sports betting could bring additional
revenue to bolster the revenue of some struggling states, and also
benefit the NBA.
Silver's view is different from predecessor David Stern, who allowed the
NBA in 2012 to join a lawsuit with the NCAA, NFL, MLB and NHL to halt
New Jersey's attempt to bring legalized sports betting to casinos and
racetracks in the state. (Editing by Gene Cherry)
