Cariduros de Fajardo is a professional basketball team of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional founded in 1973. Based in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, the team plays at the Tomás Dones Coliseum.
History
The team was founded in 1973 and participated in the Baloncesto Superior Nacional before folding in 2008. On January 14, 2017 the team was refounded and returned to the league for the 2017 season with the purchase of the Atenienses de Manatí franchise by former NBA player Carlos Arroyo and later relocation to his hometown in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.[1]
In May 2021 the team was sold and converted in the Gigantes de Carolina. The following month, the Santeros de Aguada were relocated to Fajardo.[2] They will play as the Cariduros, with the Aguada roster intact. The move was due to issues with the air conditioning of their home court of Aguada.[2]
