There have been 15 defunct National Basketball Association franchises. The National Basketball Association (NBA) is a professional men's basketball league, consisting of thirty teams in North America (twenty-nine in the United States and one in Canada). Nine of the league's defunct teams played in only one NBA season. The Anderson Packers, the original Denver Nuggets, the Indianapolis Jets, the Sheboygan Red Skins (arena pictured), and the Waterloo Hawks had played in the National Basketball League before joining the NBA, while the original Baltimore Bullets had played in the American Basketball League. The Packers, Red Skins, and Hawks left the NBA for the National Professional Basketball League, and are the only defunct teams to have ceased to exist in a league other than the NBA. The original Bullets were the last defunct team to leave the NBA, having left during the 1954–55 season, and are the only defunct team to have won an NBA championship. (Full list...)
