History
On February 18, 2021, Evelyn Magley, CEO of The Basketball League (TBL), announced a new franchise called the Atlantic City Gambits owned by Robert Baldeo would join the league for the 2022 season.[2] On December 15, 2021, the Atlantic City Press reported that along with new co-owner DeShawn Ward, that the team would begin play in March 2022.[3]
In January 2022, the Gambits announced they would play home games at Atlantic City High School's gymnasium,[1] which had also been the home of the Atlantic City Seagulls, a professional basketball team that played six seasons in the United States Basketball League (USBL), winning three consecutive league titles between 1997 and 1999.[4] The Seagulls briefly reformed under new ownership in the American Basketball Association in 2021, but only played six games.[1]
