Laguneros was founded in 2018 and joined the
Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional for the
2018–19 season, joining
Huracanes de Tampico and
Leñadores de Durango as expansion teams. The team chose purple, black and white as their colors and the nickname Laguneros, which is the demonym for people from the
Comarca Lagunera, a region in the states of
Coahuila and
Durango, that would roughly translate into "people from the lagoons". Previously, the Laguna region had professional basketball representation in the
LNBP with two teams:
Algodoneros de la Comarca and
Jefes de Fuerza Lagunera, both teams played in the city of
Torreón. ==Players==
