The Pittsburgh Phantoms were an American professional basketball team whose office is based in the Pittsburgh suburb of Elizabeth, Pennsylvania. The Phantoms were a member of the current American Basketball Association, and began play in December, 2009. [2] The Phantoms played their home games in Munhall, Pennsylvania at the Carnegie Library of Homestead - Athletic Club as well as the Langley High School Gymnasium. [3] [4] Although the Phantoms intended to play games in the ABA during the 2010-11 season, no games were held. Despite problems with games not being held they did garner some fan support.
The Phantoms had originally planned to be a charter member of the Global Professional Basketball League before leaving for the ABA. [5]
