In 2001, the Fayetteville Patriots became one of the NBA Development League's eight charter franchises. They played their home games at the Cumberland County Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
On May 2, 2006, The NBA Development League decided to no longer field a team in Fayetteville. The announcement came a day after the league decided the same fate for the Roanoke Dazzle franchise, based in Roanoke, Virginia.
The Fayetteville Patriots finished last in the NBDL with a 16-32 record. They got a lift in late February and early March, with the acquisition of Amir Johnson and Alex Acker, promising young players, from the Detroit Pistons.
