The 2019–20 season was the inaugural season of KK Cedevita Olimpija. The club competed in the Slovenian League, the Adriatic League and the EuroCup.

Cedevita Olimpija has lost two cup finals during the season, the 2019 Adriatic Supercup and the 2020 Slovenian Cup. The Slovenian League and the Adriatic League seasons were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Overview

On 13 June 2019, the management boards of Cedevita and Olimpija have confirmed the appointment of Davor Užbinec as a general manager and Sani Bečirović as a sports director.[1] [2] On 8 July, it's announced that the first club's coach is Croatian coach Slaven Rimac, while the first player is Slovenian player Edo Murić.[3] The Petrol Olimpija players from the 2018–19 season, Marko Simonović, Issuf Sanon, Petar Vujačić and David Kralj joined the club in July. The Cedevita Zagreb players in the previous season, Filip Krušlin, Andrija Stipanović, as well as Murić, joined the club in July.[4]

Newly signed forward Marko Simonović was a member of the Serbia national team at the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup in China. On 11 September, guard Jaka Blažič was named the first team captain.[5]

On 28 September 2019, Cedevita Olimpija lost to Partizan NIS in the 2019 ABA Supercup final in Zagreb, Croatia.[6]

Season cancellation

On the same day, the Basketball Federation of Slovenia suspended the remainder of the 2020 Championship Group season due to the same reason.[8] Prior to the Slovenian league suspension, the club played two games. On 20 March, the Basketball Federation cancelled its competitions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9] On 27 May, the ABA League Assembly cancelled the 2019–20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[10]
