## History

The club was founded on 2 November 2010 under the name of Šibenik Stari Grad (English: Šibenik Old Town). In August 2011, the club changed its name to GKK Šibenik. As famous club, KK Šibenik, bankrupted, GKK Šibenik competed with local Jolly Šibenik to become most popular basketball club in town, carrying the legendary club's colors and playing in the same basketball hall, Baldekin. GKK Šibenik won the sympathies of many Šibenik residents who now see the club as a successor to the famous KK Šibenik.
In 2012–13 season of the second-tier A-2 Liga, the club came first being promoted to the A-1 League. Today, they also plays in the first tier of the Croatian basketball league system, HT Premijer liga. In September 2016, the club management announced replacing Jeronimo Šarin with Vladimir Anzulović as head coach, and signing Miralem Halilović, Ive Ivanov, Luka Pandurić, and Ivan Siriščević. Lastly, the club finished in third in the domestic league season, defeating Zagreb in the playoffs quarter-finals, and losing to powerhouse, Cibona, in the semifinals of the 2016–17 A-1 League playoffs. In the next season, the club finished in fifth place after losing in the quarter-finals of the championship playoffs to Split. Head coach Anzulović left bench, which was taken by his former assistant, Miro Jurić.
On 13 June 2019, after domestic league season was finished, a longtime main sponsor, Doğuş Group, announced that they will leave the club after six years of the partnership. On 27 June, the club confirmed and presented newly formed board led by its president, Ante Burić.
