Denver Royal Goats to Begin ABA Play in 2027

Indianapolis, IN.  The American Basketball Association (ABA) today announced that the Denver Royal Goats will begin play in 2027.

"We are really pleased to have Lucy and Raymond Johnson as part of the ABA," stated ABA CEO Joe Newman. "It appears we will have 3-4 teams in Colorado next season, long overdue, and this husband and wife team should be something special. Raymond is a player and owner; Lucy leads the business and team operations."

"Together, we're building the Denver Royal Goats," added Raymond. "Our players, their families and our community will be proud of this team. I've had the drive to go further in basketball but haven't always had the opportunities. We started the Royal Goats to give other players a chance, a place to compete, develop our game,  to see how far we could go. We want to play at a high level and be the kind of teammates who show up for each other in the gym and in everyday life."

"To the teams, players, and fans across the ABA community and the community of Denver, we look forward to meeting you," stated Lucy. "We're proud to represent Denver and excited to see what we can build together, one player, one fan, one family at a time."
