Continental Basketball Association (CBA) Previous Teams

The Continental Basketball Association, which filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in February 2001, started up again in November, 2001.

Old Press Release:

The CBA will tip-off its 56th consecutive season on November 16, 2001. A combination of seven teams from the CBA and the International Basketball Association (IBA), including three franchises with more than 10 years of history in the CBA, will compete in the 2001-2002 season. All of those teams are also committed to play in the 2002-2003 season.

Hunter said that final negotiations are underway with owners in four markets, whose teams also may launch play this season. Agreements are finalized with franchises in Gary, Indiana; Grand Rapids and Flint, Michigan; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Rockford, Illinois; and Fargo and Bismarck, North Dakota. Negotiations continue with owners in Boise; Fort Wayne, Indiana; Winnipeg, Manitoba; and La Crosse, Wisconsin, but CBA officials said play may not begin in those markets until next year.

The CBA, which will be based in Boise, suspended operations in February and five teams later joined the International Basketball League. The move came two years after NBA Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas agreed to buy the league for $9 million. He paid half up front, but never paid the rest of the fee.

The league was restarted Nov 2001. Some of the teams listed below were slated to be in the league after various reorganizations through 2001, but may not have actually been in the league when restarted.
