Reno Rogues added to ABA expansion

The American Basketball Association (ABA) announced that the Reno Rogues have been added to its expansion for the upcoming season that will begin in November.

“Reno is a great sports and entertainment city,” stated ABA CEO Joe Newman, “and we were very surprised when the G-League abandoned Reno and headed to California. It left a great opening and two excellent owners have jumped in to fill the void.” 

The team will be owned and operated by Grind Athletics, LLC who also own and operate the Idaho Outlaws (www.idahooutlaws.com and IdahoOutlawsABA on Twitter) of the ABA.

“We are very excited about this opportunity,” “We believe that the basketball fans in Reno will really enjoy the fast-paced exciting ABA game and appreciate the affordable prices too.”
