## Overview
### Pre-season

TD Systems Baskonia officially set its sights on the 2020–21 season as the club started its training camp for the coming campaign on August 11. Baskonia came into 2019–20 having played in the playoffs the previous four seasons, including the Final Four in 2015–16. But the team last season slumped to a 12–16 record and 13th place in the standings when the COVID-19 outbreak ended the campaign. Head coach Duško Ivanović joined the club in December 2019 and helped Baskonia take the 2020 Spanish League title. He guided Baskonia to the EuroLeague Finals in 2001 and to the EuroLeague Championship Game in 2005. Now, with new additions such as Rokas Giedraitis, Alec Peters and Tonye Jekiri, the club aims to return to the EuroLeague Playoffs, at least, in 2020–21.
