The 2019-20 season was hit by the coronavirus pandemic that compelled the federation to suspend and later cancel the competition without assigning the title to anyone.[1] Reggio Emilia ended the championship in 12th position.

Players

edit

The team composition is the same as the last game played on February 9[2] before the interruption of the championship[3] due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Dererk Pardon and Gal Mekel left the team before the early end of the season. The first due to an injury that compromised the rest of the season, while Mekel was transferred to Unicaja Málaga.
