After they were forced to play their inaugural G League campaign in Ft. Worth, Texas, the Capitanes return to Mexico City and a new arena.

The Mexico City Capitanes kicked off their 2022-23 season with a press conference on Monday morning, sharing information about their first campaign in the Mexican capital after spending their inaugural season in the NBA’s developmental league based in Forth Worth, Texas due to the pandemic, all of their games for the 2021-22 campaign played in opponent arenas.

General Manager Nick Lagios, President of NBA Mexico Raúl Zárraga, and several other members of the Capitanes organization were present to get the press up to speed on some fairly eventful news. Among the most important was that the team would have a new home in the modern, spacious Arena CDMX in the north of the metropolis.

“It’s been a challenge to be away from our fans,” said team president Rodrigo Serratos. “We are happy to be back in Mexico City in a top-rate venue.”
