According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver is said to be finalizing a contract extension that will keep him in office through the end of the decade. Silver, who is about to begin his tenth year as league commissioner, will hold the role through the end of the decade thanks to his contract. After David Stern was replaced as NBA commissioner on February 1, 2014, the 61-year-old Silver took up the position by a majority vote of the league’s board of governors.

Since 1992, the NBA has employed the Duke alumnus. In the past, he has served as the NBA’s chief of staff, COO, Deputy Commissioner, President, and COO of NBA Entertainment, and also a specialized assistant to the commissioner. Silver is only the sixth commissioner in NBA history, having previously held the position under Maurice Podoloff, J. Walter Kennedy, Larry O’Brien, and Stern.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski’s report, negotiating a new media rights agreement and handling possible league expansion are anticipated to be among the topics Silver will address in his extension.

Although the precise amount of Silver’s extension pay hike is unknown, he has been receiving a $10 million payment annually. As a result, he is the highest-paid commissioner among the four major sports in North America.

In 2016, several awards honored Adam Silver for his leadership and named him the most influential person in the sports industry. In addition to his basketball influence, Silver is involved in philanthropy and serves on various boards.
