Denver Refiners

The Denver Refiners were a professional basketball team who played in Denver, Colorado in 1950 and were a member of the Western Division of the National Professional Basketball League.

The franchise had difficulty financing the team's long trips to all its eastern and midwestern counterparts. Financial pressures forced the organization to fold. A business man from Evansville, Indiana later bought the team and moved the team to Indiana, renaming them the Evansville Agogans.

NBA Player Ed Dahler represented the side and was the Refiners leading scorer during their time in the league.
