Place Division: Tied for 4th (ABA) | ||
The 1967–68 New Jersey Americans season was the first season of the franchise in the American Basketball Association (ABA). The Americans finished in a tied for fourth place with the Kentucky Colonels for the fourth and final playoff spot. However, due to the Teaneck Armory being booked and the Long Island Arena (the future home of the team) being unsuitable, the two teams did not play a one-game playoff, and thus the game was forfeited to the Colonels, giving them the last spot. The team would rebrand as the New York Nets before the next season started.
