The Cleveland Rebels were a Basketball Association of America (a forerunner of the modern National Basketball Association) team based in Cleveland, Ohio.[1]

Franchise history

The Rebels were an inaugural franchise in the BAA's first season. The team went 30–30, finishing 3rd in the Western Division and losing in the first round of the playoffs, two games to one to the New York Knickerbockers, in its only season before going out of business.[2] After that, Cleveland would not have another professional basketball team until the Cavaliers were enfranchised by the NBA in 1970.
