The Canadian Elite Basketball League has called a Wednesday morning media conference to announce it is adding a team in Ottawa, playing out of TD Place arena. The unnamed franchise would represent the national capital’s second to enter pro basketball ranks. CEBL players come from NBA G-League clubs, top NCAA programs, the Canadian national program, U Sports and other Division 1 FIBA leagues. The inaugural 2019 season featured more than 100 Canadians and internationals on CEBL rosters, with the Saskatchewan Rattlers winning the first championship. Several players with Ottawa connections played in the CEBL in 2019.
