Detroit Eagles

The Detroit Eagles were a professional basketball team based in Detroit, Michigan. Managed by Dutch Dehnert, they played in the National Basketball League from 1939 to 1941,[1] then became a barnstorming team.[2] The team folded during the 1942–43 season after most of the roster had been drafted to serve in the military.[3]

The Eagles won the 1941 World Professional Basketball Tournament in Chicago with a 39-37 victory over the Oshkosh All-Stars.[4] They returned to the tournament in 1942, but this time lost to Oshkosh 43-41.[5]
