The Tri-City Suns were a basketball team which played in the American Basketball Association (ABA) in the 2009-10 season[1] and the Atlantic Coast Professional Basketball League (ACPBL) in 2011.[2] Home games were played on the campus of Progressive Christian Academy in Temple Hills, Maryland.[1]

The Suns were the only basketball team playing in Prince George's County. The Maryland Nighthawks played the 2004-05 season at The Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro, but, prompted by poor attendance, moved to Rockville in Montgomery County the following season.[1] In January 2011, the Suns were recruited to replace the Washington GreenHawks (formerly the same Maryland Nighthawks) in the ACPBL[2] which would be renamed the American Professional Basketball League (APBL) the following season.

Despite a January 1, 2013 announcement that the Suns would play in the ABA's 2013-14 season,[3] and an undated announcement that they'd play in the APBL for the 2013-14 season,[4] no reliable source indicates that they played after their 2011 ACPBL season.
