History
editThe club got media attention in the mid-2010s due to the basketball development of Bogdan Bogdanović who played for their youth system before signed for Partizan in September 2010.[1][2][3][4] Also, the club got attention in 2020 due to a similarity of their logo with one from the Golden State Warriors. The club logo has the Ada Bridge silhouette.[5]
In April 2021, the club won the First Regional League Central Division for the 2020–21 season and got promoted to the Second League of Serbia for the 2021–22 season.[6]
