In an official release, the Halifax Rainmen basketball team owner Mr. Andre Levingston announced that he has removed the team from the American Basketball Association, effective immediately. The Rainmen will be not participating in the league's play-offs, scheduled in Quebec later this month. 'After all the challenges we faced this year, it became obvious that the ABA is not the right league for the Halifax Rainmen. Our fans, our corporate partners, our season tickets holders and this city deserve better, and I will do every thing I can to deliver,' added the Rainmen owner, announcing also the team plans to make a run at becoming a member of the NBA's Developmental League. Levingston commited the Rainmen will stay in Halifax regardless of the success of the future NBA D-League negotiations.
