Ike Duffey Doxie Moore (eliminated 0-2) The 1949–50 Anderson Packers 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 as the Anderson Duffey Packers sponsorship name involving the Duffey meat packing company they were originally affiliated with called Duffey's Incorporated and their fifth overall season of play when including their only independent season under their original Anderson Chiefs (sometimes expanded out more as the Chief Anderson Meat Packers) name. This season was notable for a game they played on November 24, 1949, with the Packers playing a quintuple-overtime game against the Syracuse Nationals (which was an NBA record at the time), though the Packers would lose that game 125–123. This game was also notable for the fact that it still holds the record for the most fouls recorded by both teams played in one game with 113 total fouls made, with Anderson having the NBA record of 60 fouls set that night. Following the conclusion of this season, they would withdraw their operations from participating in the NBA altogether due in part to pressure against big-market areas like New York, Boston, and Philadelphia voicing their dismay against playing in places like Anderson during the season (though the reason for Anderson's removal despite their semifinal appearance actually related to the poor health of team owner and one-time head coach, Ike Duffey), which led to the Packers, Sheboygan Red Skins, Waterloo Hawks, and the original Denver Nuggets (who would later rebrand themselves as the Denver Frontier Refiners at first) creating the short-lived rivaling National Professional Basketball League as a failed effort to survive beyond the NBA.

Dispersal Draft

After the Packers withdrew their operations from the NBA on April 10, 1950 in order to later create the short-lived rivaling National Professional Basketball League alongside the Sheboygan Red Skins, Waterloo Hawks, and original Denver Nuggets franchise, only Anderson from the original four teams that withdrew from the NBA into the newly-formed NPBL would officially have their players enter a dispersal draft for NBA teams to acquire their players from. The former Packers players would also be drafted alongside players that previously played for the St. Louis Bombers, who officially disbanded as a franchise two weeks after the Packers withdrew as a franchise in the NBA on April 24 that same year (which coincidentally was also the same day the other former NBA teams left to help create the NPBL), with the dispersal draft involving former Packers and Bombers players being the first official dispersal draft of the 1950–51 NBA season period occurring on August 25, 1950. The following teams acquired these players from the Packers during the dispersal draft period.

Baltimore Bullets: Red Owens
Boston Celtics: Ed Stanczak
Chicago Stags: Frank Brian (would not play for the Stags due to them folding a month before the NBA's season began; later played for the Tri-Cities Blackhawks instead)
Fort Wayne Pistons: John Hargis
Philadelphia Warriors: Bill Closs, Frank Gates, & Milo Komenich
Rochester Royals: Charles B. Black
Tri-Cities Blackhawks: Richie Niemiera
