The 1962–63 NBA season was the Zephyrs' 2nd season in the NBA,[1] as well as their only season under the Zephyrs name after going under the Packers name the previous season and their final season in the Windy City before the franchise's relocation to Baltimore as a new Baltimore Bullets team for the following season. As a result, Chicago would not have another NBA franchise until 1966, when the Bulls began play.
