Dakota Wizards Tickets

The Dakota Wizards were a storied professional basketball franchise with a rich history spanning multiple leagues and championships. Originating in 1995, the team carved out a successful path through the IBA and CBA before joining the NBA D-League in 2006, where they continued to win titles. In 2012–13, the franchise relocated to Santa Cruz and rebranded as the Santa Cruz Warriors, becoming the Golden State Warriors' D-League affiliate. While the Dakota Wizards brand no longer operates, their legacy lives on in Santa Cruz. The Wizards’ historic home was the Bismarck Civic Center, and today, the successor team plays at Kaiser Permanente Arena in Santa Cruz. For 2025, no Dakota Wizards events are scheduled; fans should follow Santa Cruz Warriors schedules for ongoing D-League play.

Though the Dakota Wizards name is defunct, their impact on professional basketball across IBA, CBA, and the NBA G League remains notable.
