Teams

National standings

The numbers of teams by country is determined by a coefficient that is the sum of all victories clubs from a certain country achieve in a regular season divided by the number of clubs from that country. By using this coefficient majority of places for current season are allocated, while the remaining places are given via wild cards from league board.[1][2]

Team allocation

On 25 July 2016 the Adriatic Basketball Association agreed to expel Union Olimpija and Helios Suns as the first was not able to fulfill the financial obligations required and the second did not follow the position of all the clubs of the Association in the FIBA-Euroleague controversy.[3] Finally, Union Olimpija was re-admitted in the league and Macedonian runner-up Karpoš Sokoli replaced Helios Suns.[4]
