The NBA's one-and-done rule is unofficially done.

Commissioner Adam Silver made it clear on Tuesday that there is growing support for a change that would allow players to enter the league at the age of 18 rather than require them to play one year of college basketball or internationally. Such a move would have to be collectively bargained with the National Basketball Players Association, but Silver's tone on this topic was the strongest sign yet that it's only a matter of time.

"My personal view is that we're ready to make that change," Silver said after the conclusion of the latest round of owners' meetings. "It won't come immediately, butwhen I weighed the pros and cons (and) given that (former Secretary of State) Condoleezza Rice and her (NCAA) commission has recommended to the NBA that those one-and-done players now come directly into the league and, in essence, the college community is saying 'We do not want those players anymore,' I mean that sort of tips the scale in my mind that we should be taking a serious look at lowering our age to 18."
