Darüşşafaka & Doğuş (2013–present)[edit]

In 2013, Doğuş Holding became the main sponsor of the team, which instantly turned Darüşşafaka in a wealthy and ambitious club. In the 2013–14 season, they won the TB2L title and promoted to the TBL.

In the 2014–15 season, Darüşşafaka took the third place in the regular season after some big names like Renaldas Seibutis and Jamon Gordon were signed for the season. Despite the huge expectations, the team lost in the quarterfinals to Trabzonspor.[2]
