The players of Cedevita Olimpija in the ABA league made it to the semi-finals of the playoffs, where they were defeated by the later champion Crvena Zvezda.
During the summer break, the team management refreshed the roster. Among the more important players, Jaka Blazic, Jacob Pullen, Zach Auguste, and Melvin Ejim left the club, and Yogi Ferrell, Edo Muric, Alen Omic, and Zoran Dragic signed a contract for another year.
