| | Minnesota Muskies |
 | | The Minnesota Muskies became charter members of a new league when, following years of planning, the formation of the American Basketball Association was announced in February 1967. |
 | | The Colonels arrived in Minnesota at 5:00 Sunday morning expecting to play New Jersey that afternoon; however, Commissioner Mikan had already forfeited the tie-breaker game to them, and, instead, they would be playing the Muskies in the opening round of the playoffs. |
 | | Just prior to the opening of the series with the Pipers, the Muskies announced that Vern Mikkelsen, who with Mikan and Pollard had given the Lakers the greatest front line in the NBA in the 1950s, would replace Holman. |
