NBDL Basketball Team Announced
According to NBA Commissioner David Stern, Austin will be awarded a NBDL Basketball franchise. The new team (TBA Wednesday March 23) will be playing in the Austin Convention Center during the 2005-2006 season. Fort Worth, Tulsa and Albuquerque also made the list. There have been 34 players from the NBDL that have eventually made NBA rosters since the league began. I have watched alot of NBDL games on ESPN and they are really competitive. This will be a great addition to Austin’s professional sports market. Hopefully, this will be the stepping stone the city needs to eventually support a major professional team.
