The 1949–50 NBA season was the only season for the Anderson Packers in the National Basketball Association (NBA), as well as their fourth professional season of existence when including the seasons they played in the preceding National Basketball League. Following the conclusion of this season, they would withdraw their operations from participating in the NBA altogether due to pressure against big-market areas like New York, Boston, and Philadelphia voicing their dismay against playing in places like Anderson during the season, which led to the Packers, Sheboygan Red Skins, Waterloo Hawks, and the original Denver Nuggets (who would later rebrand themselves as the Denver Refiners at first) creating the short-lived rivaling National Professional Basketball League as a failed effort to survive beyond the NBA.
