The franchises adopted proposed changes to the competition's board at a meeting in Auckland last week and will now have more say in the running of the NBL.
Basketball New Zealand will continue to hold the league licence but will have just one representative and one nominated independent member on a new six-person board.
The franchises will have three representatives and one independent nominated member.
Rogers hailed the decision as a "positive step forward for the league" but said the Nuggets' NBL future remained unclear.
"The outcome of the meeting was the new board structure was approved.
It is now a matter of getting the board together and the board getting on with making some decisions," Rogers said.
How long it would take for the new board to start operating was unclear but from the Nuggets' point of view, the sooner the better, he said.
"It is still wait and see for us in terms of what the actual season is going to look like.
We won't know how much it is going to cost or any of those sorts of details."
Until the Nuggets knew what shape the NBL would take next season, the franchise was not in a position to commit to the tournament, he added.
While the delay was frustrating, Rogers said there were some positive signs the league could adopt a travel equalisation scheme next season.
Both the Canterbury Rams and the Nuggets spend more on travel than their North Island counterparts simply because they travel further to compete in the league.
That added cost has trimmed the playing budget.
A travel equalisation scheme would allow the Nuggets to put more money into the playing roster and improve their potentialon the court.
"My understanding is there is an agreement among the franchises that they will look at some sort of travel deal, if it can be worked out to be beneficial for everybody.
"There is nothing in concrete.
That is something the [new] board will need to do."
Rogers said he hoped the board would be in place within the next couple of weeks.
