​NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Tuesday night he expects the league’s aggregated streaming hub for local broadcasts to launch in time for the 2027-28 season, with sources telling SBJ that YouTube is a leading candidate to house the platform. Following the collapse of Main Street Sports Group, 13 teams — the Hawks, Hornets, Cavaliers, Pistons, Pacers, Clippers, Grizzlies, Heat, Bucks, T’Wolves, Thunder, Magic and Spurs — will sign what amounts to one-year deals this coming season with a variety of outlets. The Heat, Pistons and Bucks have already formalized contracts with local OTA channels, while the remaining 10 teams will either choose a free TV template or a paywalled streaming service.Sports Business Journal
