The Detroit Falcons were a Basketball Association of America (forerunner of the National Basketball Association) team based in Detroit. It played in the inaugural 1946–47 season and folded soon after the season ended. Its demise alongside the Detroit Gems' move to Minneapolis to become the Minneapolis Lakers (now Los Angeles Lakers) left Detroit without a professional basketball team until a decade later, when the Fort Wayne Pistons moved there.
