Indianapolis, IN. The American Basketball Association (ABA) announced that the Inland Empire Emperors are the latest expansion team getting set to begin play in November. “This has certainly been an unusual start to the off season for all sport leagues and the ABA is no exception,” stated ABA CEO Joe Newman. “However, we have continued to add teams at a record pace and have confidence our season will begin as planned. Located east of Los Angeles, Inland Empire is a perfect fit for the southern division of the Far West Region and will be playing teams both north and south.”
The team will be owned by Kevin Dailey, a successful salesman and entrepreneur from humble beginnings, Kevin Dailey developed a strong work ethic and learned to support himself financially at a very early age. Working under the guidance of his father, he began mastering the ins and outs of commercial and residential property management at the age of 14.
