The American Basketball Association (ABA) today announced that the Charlotte Flight will begin play in the league starting in 2024. “We are very excited to be back in Charlotte,” stated ABA CEO Joe Newman. “It is a great basketball city and we are very fortunate to have an experienced and capable owner to help maximize the potential of the team.”

The Flight will be owned by LaMar Rice, a WNBPA and FIBA Certified Agent who started his career as a student in the Athletic Management Program with Sports Management Worldwide. “After becoming Co-CEO of a sports agency, I realized that I always wanted to own a team,” added Rice. “And I realized that there was no better way than to start with the ABA. The Charlotte Flight will be inventive, exciting and a family fun experience while consistently looking to contend for championships. When you step into Charlotte, be prepared to TAKE FLIGHT.”
