Speaking before the matchup between the Orlando Magic and the Chicago Bulls in Mexico City, Adam Silver said the G League could add a team in Mexico by next season. 

Silver stated that he wants to see more "state-of-the-art" arenas like Arena Ciudad de Mexico throughout Latin America to host NBA games. He also said that the league will play in Mexico "for many years to come", although there is no official agreement beyond this season.

According to a 2018 study, the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls are the two most popular NBA teams in Mexico.
