History
[edit]On 26 September 2023, the team was presented at a press conference as an expansion team in the Circuito de Baloncesto de la Costa del Pacífico (CIBACOPA).[1][2] The Ángeles were one of two teams joining the league ahead of its 2024 season, along with the returning Frayles de Guasave, bringing the number of teams to 10.[1][2] The team president, Francisco José Búrquez, is the nephew of Mexican basketball legend Carlos Quintanar.[3] In December, the Ángeles hired Gustavo Quintero as the team's inaugural head coach and announced DaQuan Bracey as their first signing.[4][5] The team subsequently signed Luis Andriassi and Vander Blue in January 2024.[6][7]
The Ángeles released their inaugural 12-man roster on 20 February.[8]
