Indiana Lyons Announce 2024 Preseason Schedule

The Indiana Lyons return to the American Basketball Association (ABA) for their seventh season of professional basketball, and the team has announced its 2024 preseason schedule, sponsored by the Glacier Line Jammers Band.

The 2023-24 Lyons finished the season with a 22-3 record and as ABA Central Region Finalists. They are the 2022-23 ABA Champions. In their six previous seasons, the Lyons have earned six winning campaigns, six ABA playoff appearances, two regional finalists finishes, two regional championships, and a league championship.

This season’s squad will be coached by Lyons co-owner and CEO Tyrone Brown and Myishea Richmond.

The preseason begins Sept. 7-8 with the IBL ProAm Land of Indiana Nationals Tournament in Bedford, Indiana. All tournament games, including the Lyons’ games, will be live streamed at youtube.com/@minotaurstreaming. Fans are welcome at the tournament, and admission is free.

The Lyons follow up the tournament with ABA opponents: the Indiana Shuckers on Sept. 21 at 5 p.m. ET in Bosstick Gym, and the Chi-Town Rebels on Sept. 28 at 5 p.m. ET at George Washington High School in Indianapolis.

The team’s preseason comes to an end on Oct. 5 with the first annual Purple and Teal game at 5 p.m. ET at Bosstick Gym. This game will feature current, past, and future Lyons competing against each other.

Indiana Lyons Use AI to Imagine Other Teams

Our graphics guy has been playing around with AI this season, using it for a variety of images that we use in a variety of places. Recently, he caught the creative bug and started imagining mascots for other teams around the American Basketball Association (ABA), choosing teams whose names inspired him.

That led to a couple of requests by teams, including one team from a different league. And he finished it up with a gift to the Lyons’ friends in the TBL, the Kokomo Bobkats.

These images are free to swipe, steal, download, and use wherever you want to. They’re gifts to the featured teams. It’d be nice if you’d credit Indiana Lyons when you post or share each image.

Want one for your team? For custom work requests, please contact Tyrone Brown at tyronebrown@indianalyons.com to discuss pricing and coordination with our graphics guy.

Here’s what our graphics guy came up with during his creative outburst:

North Alabama War Dawgs of the ABA.
