BC Jonava , also known as CBet Jonava (Lithuanian : Jonavos CBet ) for sponsorship reasons, is a Lithuanian professional basketball club based in Jonava . The team competes in the Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL).
The club was officially founded in 1999, and had been playing in the second-tier Lithuanian basketball league NKL (formerly known as LKAL ) since its inception. Having been promoted to the top division, the club played a strong first season in the LKL, finishing fifth.
History [ edit ] The first basketball club in Jonava known as "Statyba" was founded in 1969. In 1980, a furniture enterprise started sponsoring the team. BC Jonava won the Lithuanian second-tier league basketball championship at the end of the season. A decade later, the historic Jonava basketball club ceased to exist, and was replaced by the sports club "Triobet" in 1999.[1]
