[edit] Franchise history
The Dazzle were one of the final two teams from the NBDL inaugural season to last through the 2005-06 season. The Fayetteville Patriots were the other. Both were owned by the NBA for their entire 5-season history. On May 1, 2006 the NBA Development League announced that the NBA would no longer operate the Roanoke Dazzle. League President Phil Evans briefly held out the possibility of a local ownership group operating the team. By May 9, that hope had been ended, as the NBA announced that the Dazzle would not return.
