Uncommon card · No. 127694

The Mexico City Capitanes (Spanish: Capitanes de la Ciudad de México) are a Mexican professional basketball team of the NBA G League based in Mexico City. The Capitanes competed as a member club in the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional (LNBP) for its first three seasons and then became a member of the NBA G League. The team plays its home games at Mexico City Arena. The Capitanes were established before the 2017–18 season, after the Mexican capital had been without a basketball team for a decade. In December 2019, the National Basketball Association's commissioner Adam Silver announced that the Capitanes would be joining the league's developmental league, the NBA G League, for at least five seasons beginning in the 2020–21 season. However, following the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, no mention was made of the Capitanes participating in the league's 2021 bubble season, with the team announcing it would instead join in the 2021–22 season.
