SEATTLE Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan recently spoke with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and left feeling pretty optimistic about the prospects of a return of the Seattle Sonics.
Durkan told KING 5 she spoke with Silver via phone just before Christmas after the commissioner let it slip that the league was re-examining expansion prospects and that Seattle was at the top of the list.
Durkan acknowledged, in the interview with KING 5, that she has maintained regular contact with Silver and has recently attended NBA games with him.
