Club Bàsquet Mallorquí, also known as Bàsquet Mallorca or as Logitravel Mallorca Básquet by sponsorship reasons, is a professional basketball team based in Inca, Balearic Islands, Spain.
History
Club Bàsquet Mallorquí was founded in 2008 as a merger of two teams from Balearic Islands:
- Club Bàsquet Inca (former LEB Oro team)
- Club Bàsquet Muro (former LEB Plata team)
The team started playing in LEB Oro, but in the summer of 2010 they were relegated to LEB Plata because of not submitting all documentation on time. In that 2010–11 season, Mallorca promoted to LEB Oro after winning the final playoffs to BC Andorra. In the last game, Mallorca won 67–66 after Andreu Matalí failed two free shots with only one second left.[1]
In 2012, the club resigned to play any competition and announced it would be probably dissolved, but in September 2012 the Spanish Basketball Federation finally invited it to join Liga EBA.[2]
Sponsorship naming
Bàsquet Mallorca had denominations through the years due to its sponsorship:
- Iberostar Mallorca Bàsquet: 2011 (only during LEB Plata promotion playoffs)
- Logitravel Básquet Mallorca: 2011–12
- WifiBaleares Mallorca Bàsquet: 2012–present
