The 2020–21 KK Crvena zvezda season will be the 77th season in the existence of the club.

Overview

Pre-season

At the end of previous season, contracts expired with four players: Marko Jagodić-Kuridža, Jordan Loyd, Landry Nnoko and Duop Reath. All four of them left the club during the summer.[1]

On 29 May 2021, Serbian guard Filip Čović, who spent last season on a loan at FMP, decided to retire at the age of 31. This marked the end of his second spell with Crvena zvezda. He was at the club from April 2018 until he was loaned out in February 2020, and during that time he won an Adriatic League title, two Serbian League titles, and an Adriatic League SuperCup.[2]

On 31 May 2021, the Serbia men's national basketball team's head coach Igor Kokoškov announced 25-player preliminary roster for the 2020 FIBA Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Belgrade selecting three Zvezda's players: Dejan Davidovac, Ognjen Dobrić, and Branko Lazić.[3] Davidovac and Dobrić made into the final tournament roster, while Lazić withdrew due to health issues.[4] Serbia finished as runners-up, losing to Italy in the final and not qualifying for the Olympics.[5] Dobrić played all 4 games scoring 11.3 points per game, while Davidovac played 3 games with average of 2.3 points per game.

An American guard Jordan Loyd, who was team's best scorer in the previous season's runs in Adriatic League and EuroLeague, was first to leave the club on 14 June 2021 after signing two years contract with Russian side Zenit Saint Petersburg.[6] He left the club after only one season in which he contributed them to win titles in the Adriatic League, Serbian League, and Radivoj Korać Cup. Individually, he was once selected as a EuroLeague MVP of the Week, twice as an Adriatic League MVP of the Round, and was also member of the Adriatic League Ideal Starting Five of the season.

The first two signings of the season were Montenegrin international guard Nikola Ivanović and Serbian forward Luka Mitrović who already played for the club and was the Zvezda's captain during his first spell between 2012 and 2017. They both arrived from Montenegrin side and the club's ABA League rival Budućnost and signed two years contracts with the club on 18 June.[7][8] Just few days later, on 24 June, Marko Jagodić-Kuridža who played for Crvena zvezda in last two seasons winning Adriatic League, Serbian League and Serbian Cup, went in the opposite direction and signed contract with Budućnost after his old contract with Crvena zvezda expired.[9]

Third signing of the season was American forward Aaron White. He arrived from Greek side Panathinaikos after his contract expired and signed two years contract with the club.[10] On 3 July 2021, club returned Serbian swingman Stefan Lazarević from a loan. He was loaned to the FMP since 2014. He's a product of a club's youth academy with which he won 2014 edition of Euroleague Basketball Next Generation Tournament.[11]

On 3 July 2021, Crvena zvezda announced that they have signed the two-year contract extension with Ognjen Dobrić until summer of 2023. He has been playing at the club since summer of 2016, winning 10 trophies in the process.[12]

On 12 July 2021, two more players left the club. American guard Langston Hall left for the Turkish side Bahçeşehir Koleji after early termination of his contract with Crvena zvezda. He played for the club for one season in which he contributed them to win titles in the Adriatic League, Serbian League, and Radivoj Korać Cup.[13] Serbian guard Aleksa Radanov also left the club for the Bosnian side Igokea. He was part of Crvena zvezda squad since turning pro in 2015 with two loan spells at FMP during 2015–2018 and 2019–2020. During his spell at the club he won 3 Adriatic leagues, three Serbian leagues, an Adriatic Supercup and a Radivoj Korać Cup.[14]

On 14 July 2021, Corey Walden, another American guard who played for the club in the last season, terminated his contract and signed new contract with German side Bayern Munich.[15]

On 15 July 2021, Serbian international forward Nikola Kalinić returned to the club for his second spell. Previously he played for the Crvena zvezda during the 2014–2015 season. Highlights of his career were Euroleague title with Fenerbahçe in 2017 and silver medals with Serbia in 2014 World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics. Kalinić arrived from Spanish side Valencia and signed two-year contract.[16]

On 19 July 2021, Australian international big man Duop Reath left the club after his one-year contract expired. He returned to his home country and signed for Illawarra Hawks.[17] Also, he was selected as a member of the Australia national team for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.[18][19]

On 10 August 2021, American point guard Nate Wolters returned to the club for his second spell. Previously he played for the Crvena zvezda during the 2016–2017 season. Wolters arrived from Russian side UNICS and signed one-year contract.[20]

On 15 August 2021, Cameroonian center Landry Nnoko left the club after his one-year contract expired. He moved to the Spanish side Saski Baskonia.[21]

On 16 August 2021, American guard Austin Hollins signed one-year contract with the club. He arrived from Russian club Zenit Saint Petersburg.[22]

Reportedly, the club expressed their interest to sign guards Jerome Robinson, Stefan Marković, Stefan Jović, and centers Tarik Black, Greg Monroe, and Mathias Lessort among other free agents.[23][24][25][26][27][28]
