I forgot all about this team. Thankfully Taylor wrote an article. Sounds like the league they were in fell apart so the owner of the the Wizards worked on creating a new league. The team plays at Friends.

Sounds like they've started small but are focused on doing it right with this new league. Will be interesting to see if they can succeed and grow the league.

It's odd that they don't have a roster on the website. I'd be curious to know who else is on the team other that the couple mentioned in the article.
Yahoo! - New league, new look, same winning results the goal for Wichita Wizards basketball team
After bringing professional basketball to Wichita in 2019 by creating his own team, Mark Creed has continued his passion project by helping create a new league for the Wizards to compete in.
The Mid-America Basketball Association debuted last weekend with the Wichita Wizards picking up a 115-106 win over the Kansas City Stealth at Garvey Center on Friends University’s campus.
Creed said fans can expect the same things from the Wizards: local talent winning big. The team has won its conference championship in all three years of its existence, a trend the Wizards hope to continue this season.
“I started the Wizards because I wanted to provide Wichita natives the chance to play professional basketball,” Creed said. “So it’s important to me that the majority of our players have always been native Wichitans or people who have moved here and now live here. Hopefully we can show that we can compete with everybody in our new league and see where we come out.”
