Mexican-American forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of the NBA expanding to Mexico City, as he shared with Grant Afseth of RG.org.

Reflecting on his experience playing there with the Miami Heat last season, Jaquez described it as “a great experience,” emphasizing how much he enjoyed being part of that moment.

“I definitely think it’d be a great location if the league wants to expand,” he said, highlighting both the city’s vibrant culture and its appeal as a major destination.

“It’s a beautiful city with a lot to do down there. I think it only makes sense – there’s already a team in Canada, so to have one down in Mexico would be great.”

Jaquez Jr. has played 3 seasons for the Heat. He has averaged 10.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 146 regular-season games.
