The Reno Bighorns are a team in the NBA Development League based in Reno, Nevada to begin play for the 2008-09 season. Owned by David Kahn, operator of Southwest Basketball, LLC (the group that also owns the Albuquerque Thunderbirds and formerly owned the Austin Toros, Fort Worth Flyers and Tulsa 66ers), the Bighorns will play their home games at the Reno Events Center.

On June 10, the team announced they would be affiliated with the Sacramento Kings and the New York Knicks. [ [http://www.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080610/SPORTS/80610056&OAS_sitepage=news.rgj.com%2Fbreakingnews D-League announces Reno affiliates] ]

In July 2008, the team announced their nickname. Two previous Reno basketball teams were named the Bighorns; one from the defunct Western Basketball Association (coached by the late Bill Musselman and league runners-up for their only season of 1978-79), and one from the Continental Basketball Association which played for the 1982-83 season. The team colors of green, tan, and blue are designed to be an allusion to nearby Lake Tahoe.

On September 10, 2008, the Bighorns announced that they had hired former Phoenix Suns assistant coach Jay Humphries to be their first head coach. [ [http://news.rgj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080911/SPORTS/809110329/1018/SPORTS Bighorns hire Humphries as first head coach] ]
