The 1927–28 season was the second and final season played by the Philadelphia Sphas while operating as the original Philadelphia Warriors in what what would be later known as the original American Basketball League, the first ever attempt at a genuinely regional, major professional league (though it would be their eleventh overall season of play when including seasons played as the Philadelphia YMCA and the Philadelphia Passon, Gottlieb, Black franchises (and unofficially, the Philadelphia Quakers / Phillies franchise during the previous season of play)). This season saw the Philadelphia Sphas return to the original ABL under the original Philadelphia Warriors franchise name that they originally played in during the second half of the previous ABL season of play. When competing in the original ABL for the second (and arguably final) time, the Philadelphia Warriors sought to compete for their first championship in the ABL after failing to qualify for the championship round in the previous season, though this season would see the ABL operate in a different format when compared to the previous two seasons the ABL operated in with divisional play. As such, this would mark the first time this Philadelphia franchise would compete in a season that didn't represent halves in an overall season, with the Sphas / Warriors competing in 51 games played in the regular season for their first ever 30 win season. With that being said, despite the original American Basketball League being more well-known as a professional basketball league than the rest of the basketball leagues that the Philadelphia Sphas franchise played in over the past decade, game-by-game records are (currently) not available for this season, though the games played this season (alongside the previous season) could be more likely to eventually be found for the general public to see this season when compared to most of the other basketball leagues they played in their past history. Throughout the entire season, the Warriors would trail in their division behind the New York (Original) Celtics, with the Original Celtics winning the Eastern Division through a 40–9 record and the Philadelphia Warriors getting a second place finish in their division with an above-average 30–21 record. Despite trailing against the Celtics, the Warriors would compete against the defending champion Celtics in the newly-implemented divisional playoffs, with Philadelphia ultimately being swept by the eventual champion Celtics 2–0 in the Eastern Division Playoff. Following the season's end, Philadelphia would leave the ABL to participate in the briefly revived Philadelphia Basket Ball League under their original SPHAs name. Part of the reason why Philadelphia would leave the ABL in the first place was because the team, while playing under the Warriors name for both this season and the previous season, would end up losing $60,000 in the two seasons they played within the ABL in its original tenure of existence while compe
