 Baltimore Claws - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Baltimore Claws was an American basketball team, which was supposed to appear in the 1975-76 season in the American Basketball Association.
On Oct. 20, five days before the start of the season, the city padlocked the team's office at the arena and the ABA ordered the franchise shut down, its players to be distributed to the nine surviving teams in a dispersal draft.
The collapse of the Claws began a chain reaction that, in short order, sparked the dissolution of the San Diego Sails (the rechristened San Diego Conquistadors) and Utah Stars early in the season, abruptly shrinking the 10-team league to seven; and ultimately spelling the demise of the league at the end of the 1975-76 season.
