The Osos de Manatí are a professional basketball team based in Manatí, Puerto Rico, that competes in the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN), the top division of basketball in Puerto Rico. Prior to 2017 the team was named Atenienses de Manatí.[1] In October 2022 they returned from hiatus, when local Puerto Rican singer Ozuna purchased the Brujos de Guayama, and relocated the team to Manatí.[2][3] The team reached its first ever BSN finals in 2024.[4]
