1950–51 Indianapolis Olympians season

Wally Jones (7–5) (eliminated 1–2)

The 1950–51 Indianapolis Olympians season was the Olympians' 2nd season in the NBA. One lesser known aspect regarding this season involves how an NBA referee named Sol Levy would successfully rig a game involving the Olympians on November 12, 1950 to have them lose their match to the Boston Celtics instead, which later led to him being caught in the act and arrested as an eventual accomplice in the CCNY point-shaving scandal of 1951.
