DDespite making it to the inaugural BAA (now NBA) Finals championship series against the Philadelphia Warriors, the Stags admitted to the rest of the league that they alongside the Canadian-based Toronto Huskies were completely unsure of their personal standings on whether they'd be able to play for another season or not.[2] Even though they were uncertain about their personal status as a franchise, however, the Stags joined the Huskies in participating in the inaugural 1947 BAA draft, with the Stags later proving that they would be able to play for a few more seasons beyond this one at hand.
