Laguneros de la Comarca (English: Comarca Lakers) is a professional Mexican basketball team, based in Torreón, Coahuila.

History

Laguneros was founded in 2018 and joined the Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional for the 2018–19 season, joiningHuracanes de Tampico and Leñadores de Durango as expansion teams.[3]

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".[4]

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.[5]
