Dakota Wizards

Dakota Wizards was a local D-League basketball team founded in December 1995 as part of the International Basketball Association. The team became affiliated with the Continental Basketball Association in 2001 and then the NBA Development League in 2006. The team relocated to Santa Cruz, California in 2012. The move was not all that surprising. Shortly after its 2011 purchase by the Golden State Warriors, its new owners confirmed that it was considering moving the team.
