The LA Riot are an American men's 3-on-3 basketball team based in Los Angeles, California that plays in the BIG3.
The team was first announced on May 10, 2024, when DCB Sports (led by Gary LaDrido) had purchased the first BIG3 expansion team to begin play in Los Angeles for the 2025 season when the league would switch to a city-based model.[1] However, Palm Drive Associates CEO Shawn Horwitz would later be revealed as the team's owner; it is unknown whether Horwitz purchased the Riot from LaDrido and DCB or whether the franchise granted to him was a separate one from LaDrido's.[2]
The Riot name would be announced on March 26, 2025, the same day Nick Young was announced as their first head coach.[3]
