    I dont know, but usually best teams of Adriatic League play in Euro League, also those clubs need to play well in their national championships. Maybe you can find something about those rules in official website from above.

    This league is something different, havent heard about this league before. You can see that something is wrong with this league if you see who were the champions in recent few seasons:

    Rilski, Levski, KK Feni and Gilboa Galil.:D Never heard about these clubs.

    If you check every season in your Wikipedia link, you will see that only one Croatian participant played in only one season, 2010-2011. The club name is Svjetlost Brod, average Croatian club, behind KK Cibona, KK Zadar, KK Split, KK Cedevita, KK Zagreb.

    In 2011.-2012. season Croatia did not want to participate anymore, because this is weak league, meaningless. Best clubs of Balkan Peninsula participate only in this league, ABA League. Even this league is not popular, like Euroleague, NBA, or some European national leagues, like Spanish for example.

    As you can see KK Svjetlost Brod does not play in this ABA League. In whole region basketball is in huge crisis, talent still exists, but not many great results like in 90s or even before when Yugoslavia participated as one state. Maccabi Tel Aviv has much better results now in European basketball.

    Croatian basketball club KK Zadar won against KK Partizan in dramatic finish, 80-78

    US player Romeo Travis decided the match. He is also best friend of LeBron James.

    LeBron James congratulated him on his nice achievement.

    Croatia has four participants in this regional league.​
