History

After the dissolution of the professional club Matrixx Magixx, which played in Wijchen and Nijmegen, professional basketball in Gelderland disappeared. As a result TBG Dragons was founded, with the aim of providing high-level basketball for youth players.[1]

TBG Dragons announced it had applied to play in the Dutch Basketball League (DBL) for the 2019–20 season. On 4 May 2019, the DBL announced that Dragons would be able to participate if it could meet all the licence requirements.[2] On 28 June, the DBL announced that the Dragons withdrew from participating.[3]
